Zelensky at UN rejects energy-strike moratorium, calls for de-escalation

At the UN General Assembly, Ukrainian President Zelensky publicly rejected any moratorium on strikes against Russian energy infrastructure, mirroring Moscow's stance, while acknowledging a harsh winter ahead and calling for de-escalation measures. This marks a firm public position against a potential mutual restraint agreement, raising the risk of continued energy infrastructure targeting. The statement signals no near-term shift in Ukraine's military strategy despite diplomatic pressure.
