Recently, Russian sources have been spreading rumors online about a potential energy truce between Ukraine and Russia. However, there is no official confirmation of any such agreement, and these claims largely originate from the Russian side.
Past experience shows that even if ceasefires were declared, Russia has often violated them. For example, on June 15, 2025, the Kremenchuk Oil Refinery was struck, which ended a previous energy truce.
While there are no official reports, Ukrainians are urged to treat such information with caution, verify sources, and actively support the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which remain the real guarantee of peace in Ukraine.
Although anti-war sentiment in Russia is growing, the majority of the population still supports the war. Most criticism comes from those directly affected—soldiers, their relatives, or citizens who have suffered economic losses or rising costs.
Worsening economic conditions in Russia, mounting casualties, delayed payments to military personnel, the closure of small businesses, and increasing prices are the key reasons behind rising dissatisfaction and calls to reconsider the war.
Despite this discontent, many Russians remain fanatical supporters of the aggression, rejecting peace initiatives. The Kremlin continues to push the narrative of imminent victory.
Experts say real change will require a deeper internal crisis in Russia. For now, support for the Armed Forces of Ukraine and volunteer initiatives is crucial in increasing this pressure. The reduction of support for the war in Russia and the approach of peace depend on active assistance to Ukraine.
