Reports state that Ukraine and Russia agreed, with Qatar's mediation, not to target energy infrastructure in early August. Russia allegedly broke this agreement after Ukrainian forces launched an offensive in the Kursk region
According to a recent report , Ukraine and Russia held secret talks mediated by Qatar in early August.
During these discussions, both parties agreed to refrain from striking each other's energy infrastructure, marking a significant moment of potential de-escalation in the ongoing conflict.
However, this fragile agreement was reportedly shattered when Russia resumed attacks on Ukrainian energy facilities following the Ukrainian Armed Forces' offensive in the Kursk region.

This breach of agreement has raised concerns about the sustainability of such peace efforts and the possibility of further escalations in the conflict.
The agreement and its subsequent violation underscore the complexities and challenges in reaching and maintaining ceasefires or peaceful resolutions in the ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia.
