Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy reported no new targeted Russian missile or drone strikes on energy infrastructure in the last 24 hours. While frontline energy facilities have faced attacks, the absence of broader strikes suggests a temporary pause. This follows a request from U.S. President Donald Trump for a short-term truce on energy targets.

Zelenskiy indicated the energy system is stable, despite challenges from cold weather and previous attacks. He also noted that Russian forces are concentrating their efforts on transport logistics, particularly railway infrastructure. This shift in strategy could signal a move to disrupt supply lines, potentially impacting the war effort and civilian life.

Last week, Russia and Ukraine agreed to halt strikes on each other's energy infrastructure, though the duration of the truce is disputed. While Kyiv says it was for a week, Moscow has not confirmed this. The situation remains volatile, with both sides preparing for upcoming talks in Abu Dhabi to find a resolution.

Recent attacks include a drone strike on a coal mine in the Dnipropetrovsk region, resulting in casualties. This highlights the ongoing dangers and the importance of any potential truce. Investors should watch for further developments in the Abu Dhabi talks, which could influence market sentiment and energy prices.
