[Peskov: We welcome any initiative calling for a halt to attacks on civilian facilities] September 14th, Russian Presidential Press Secretary Peskov responded to U.S. President Trump’s statement at a regular briefing on September 14th, local time, asking Ukraine to stop attacking Russian fuel facilities to ensure supply. Peskov said that Russia is currently implementing an export ban on petroleum products to stabilize domestic supply. Against the background of the escalating situation in the Persian Gulf, this move will have a significant impact on the international market. After the Russian domestic market recovers, the lifting of the relevant export ban will be put on the agenda. Asked whether Trump's request was a positive step toward resolving the conflict, Peskov said any initiative calling on the Kiev regime to stop attacking civilian economic infrastructure should be welcomed. When asked whether Russia would be prepared to avoid attacking part of Ukraine's economic infrastructure if Ukraine agrees to Trump's request, Peskov refused to answer. Trump asked Ukrainian President Zelensky on the 13th to stop attacks on Russian diesel fuel facilities, saying that related attacks were causing a shortage of diesel fuel in Russia. Zelensky said on the 14th that he was open to a ceasefire in the energy sector and planned to discuss this when he met with US President Trump in New York from September 21st to 23rd. (CCTV News)
