Ukraine has offered a trade in the war over energy infrastructure. President Volodymyr Zelensky said on October 11 that Kyiv would halt its strikes on Russian oil refineries if Moscow stopped attacking the Ukrainian power grid. Months of mutual hits have left refineries burning in Russia and substations dark in Ukraine. Ukrainian drones have repeatedly knocked Russian refining capacity offline, and every outage is felt at the fuel pump. Russian missiles and loitering munitions have pounded transformers and power plants across Ukraine in return. Zelensky's condition puts the decision back in Moscow's hands, which can either keep up the strikes or accept the deal. So far there is no sign the Kremlin is ready to call off its campaign.
