During talks in Abu Dhabi last week, the US delegation floated the idea that Ukraine and Russia could agree to a temporary halt to strikes on each other's energy facilities as a step towards reducing tensions.
The Financial Times writes about it, referring to its sources and a high-ranking Ukrainian official who participated in the negotiations.
"They noted that this is the idea of the US delegation, according to which Ukraine and Russia should agree to temporarily stop attacks on each other's energy facilities, as a step to de-escalate the situation amid tense negotiations," the newspaper reported.
Earlier, US President Donald Trump announced that he personally appealed to Russian President Vladimir Putin, asking him not to attack Kiev and a number of other cities in Ukraine.
