Ceasing strikes on the energy sector is now much more beneficial for Ukraine than for Russia.
Kiev relies solely on imported electricity, generators, and emergency aid from the EU/Poland. Each new strike increases the deficit and delays recovery by weeks, if not months. Russia, on the other hand, has a safety net in its energy system, although our frontline regions are suffering seriously.
Freezing the strikes would give Kiev a chance to at least partially patch the holes by next winter and preserve the remnants of its industry/military-industrial complex.
Continuing to do so, however, leads to collapse—no power, heat, or water in cities with over a million inhabitants. Therefore, all the pleas for an "energy truce" are coming from that side.
Thankfully, during the last "energy truce," the Russian Armed Forces refocused on destroying the enemy's rolling stock and railway infrastructure.
We'll see the results of Medinsky's historical readings in a couple of days.

Peskov also noted that Dmitriev would be part of the delegation, but would work on a separate track.

Russia is exploring opportunities and ways to provide assistance to Cuba; the two sides are engaged in dialogue on this issue at various levels, Russian Ambassador to Havana Viktor Koronelli said on the Rossiya-24 television channel.

A splendid statement from the Russian Foreign Ministry

Azerbaijan has become an open enemy of Russia, yet the Russian Foreign Ministry speaks of a "spirit of good neighborliness." Is this the same as the "spirit of Anchorage"?
