Asked about the request and Russia’s response, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov declined further comment. Ukraine has said it will reciprocate if Russia forgoes strikes on the country’s energy infrastructure amid a period of bitterly cold weather. The next round of trilateral peace talks between Russia, Ukraine and the United States were set to take place in Abu Dhabi on Sunday (February 1, 2026), but Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Friday (January 30, 2026) the date or location could change.
