Earlier, military correspondents on both sides of the conflict reported that Russia and Ukraine had concluded an “energy truce.” They said that both Ukrainian and Russian soldiers had received orders to stop attacking each other's energy infrastructure.
The Financial Times reported that this possibility was to be discussed at a trilateral meeting in Abu Dhabi.
When asked about the truce, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov refused to comment, reports the Russian Interfax agency.
