Details: Zelenskyy stated that the US proposal to refrain from attacks on energy infrastructure implies that "we do not target their [Russian – ed.] energy sector – they do not target ours".

"We separately, just in case, provided [during the meeting in Riyadh – ed.] all our [energy] facilities. We submitted a list of facilities that, in our opinion, should not be targeted," he said, adding that Kyiv was "very prepared" for the meeting.

Zelenskyy also noted that the proposal for a ceasefire in the Black Sea applies only to civilian shipping and includes a ban on targeting ports.

Background:

• Following negotiations in Saudi Arabia from 23 to 25 March, delegations from the US, Ukraine and Russia agreed to work towards a truce in the Black Sea and a ban on strikes against energy infrastructure.
• Ukrainian Defence Minister Rustem Umierov stated that additional technical consultations are needed to implement the agreements on halting attacks in the Black Sea and on energy facilities.
