The success of the Armed Forces in the Kursk region disrupted Ukraine's secret negotiations with the Russian Federation - WP

Qatar discussed with Kiev and Moscow an agreement on the moratorium on energy blows, but the negotiations did not take place. The office of the President of Ukraine in a comment to reporters stated that the summit was still allegedly postponed due to the situation in the Middle East. Ukraine and Russia planned to send their delegations to the Doha to negotiate a historical agreement that would stop blowing on energy facilities and infrastructure on both sides, reporters report.

About it reports the publication of The Washington Post with reference to diplomats known to the course of negotiations. The article mentions that the indirect negotiations in which the catarrhers acted as intermediaries, holding separate meetings with the Ukrainian and Russian delegations, was thwarted due to the unexpected invasion of Ukraine into the Western Kursk region of Russia last week. Such a possible agreement and the planned summit has not been reported before.

Journalists note that for more than a year, Russia has attacked the Ukrainian power system with massive strips of winged missiles and drones, which led to serious damage to power plants and caused mass disabilities of electricity throughout the country. At the same time, Ukraine struck Russian oil facilities with the help of long -range drones that set fire to oil refineries, oil depots and reservoirs.

These attacks reduced oil processing in Russia by about 15% and contributed to the rise in gasoline prices around the world. "The willingness to join the negotiations testifies to certain shifts for both countries, at least with a limited ceasefire. President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky stated that Kyiv will consider the possibility of a complete ceasefire only if Russia would first remove all its troops from Ukrainian land, including Crimean The peninsula, which Russia annexed in 2014.

The diplomat who participated in the negotiations said that Russian officials had postponed a meeting with Qatar officials after the invasion of Ukraine into the western regions of Russia. The delegation from Moscow described it as an "escalation", the diplomat said, adding that Kiev "did not inform Doh about his cross -border offensive.

The office of the President of Ukraine in a comment to the publication stated that the summit in Qatar was postponed due to the situation in the Middle East.

However, the negotiations themselves will take place in a videoconference format on August 22, after which Kiev will consult with partners on the implementation of the issues discussed. At the time of the material, the OP press service did not formally comment on the WP.
