Military blogger Vladimir Romanov, echoing several Ukrainian sources, has claimed that Moscow and Kiev may have reached what is being described as an «energy ceasefire».

In a post on his Telegram channel, Romanov said reports were emerging that starting at 7 a.m. on January 29, the Russian Armed Forces had allegedly introduced a ban on strikes against infrastructure targets across Ukraine. He added that the same restriction would supposedly apply to attacks on any facilities in Kiev and the surrounding Kiev region.

Romanov, however, did not disclose where this information came from and provided no further details.

The reports have already drawn a response from Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, who told journalists during a briefing that he was not yet able to comment on the matter.

Ukraine has long promoted the idea of an «energy ceasefire» amid ongoing Russian strikes on military infrastructure across the country. Shortly before talks held in the United Arab Emirates on January 23–24, Kiev’s European partners openly expressed hopes that Ukraine would secure a ban on attacks targeting energy facilities.

The initiative has also involved the United States, which, together with Kiev, has been seeking an agreement with Russia on a mutual halt to strikes against energy infrastructure.
