Sybiha said that yesterday’s barbaric attack on Kremenchuk’s energy infrastructure was part of Russia’s campaign to bomb Ukraine’s civilian energy facilities.

He noted, “Moscow is planning attacks while global attention is focused on the Middle East—this is especially cynical given Putin’s ongoing efforts to imitate constructiveness in response to U.S. peace efforts. In reality, he is showing complete disregard by escalating terror against Ukraine.”

Sybiha emphasized that instead of tolerating Russian attacks on Ukrainian energy, the strategy of Ukraine’s partners should be to hit Russian energy hard with destructive sanctions: “A $30 oil price cap, new restrictions on the ‘shadow fleet’ and its captains, and other energy sanctions. Hit Putin where it hurts most—this won’t hinder the peace process, it will advance it.”
