According to paper sources, both sides of the conflict planned to send their delegations to Dohy, Qatar this month. The aim of the gathering was to negociate an agreement that would halt attacks on energy facilities, which would in practice mean a partial ceasefire.
Energy conflict: the effects of attacks
Since the beginning of the conflict, Russia has regularly attacked the Ukrainian energy network, causing severe demolition and power outages. On the another hand, Ukraine responded with drone attacks on Russian refineries and fuel depots, which led to a crucial decrease in the efficiency of the Russian oil manufacture and an increase in gas prices on planet markets.
Mediation and hope for peace
Negotiations on the suspension of attacks on energy facilities have been ongoing for 2 months at Qatar mediation. According to an anonymous origin cited by the Washington Post, the parties were close to reaching an agreement, leaving only insignificant details to be established.
New realities after the offensive in the Kurdish Oblast
The situation changed diametrically after Ukraine launched an offensive in the Kursk Oblast on 6 August. At this point, Russia is not to be curious in signing the ceasefire agreement. All the arrangements we've made so far went to the trash can. The question of who in the West gave the “green light” to the Ukrainians for the attack. With a advanced degree of probability, they did not make specified a decision.
Analysis and future prospects
In the current situation, the future of negotiations and the anticipation of reaching an agreement are very uncertain. Both Ukraine and Russia suffered crucial losses as a consequence of common attacks on energy infrastructure, which affects the economical stableness of both countries and the prices of energy natural materials on global markets.
It is worth noting that, in a geopolitical context, any escalation of the conflict has serious consequences for regional stableness and global relations. Qatar's mediations aimed to alleviate tensions and make conditions for a more permanent ceasefire. However, current warfare can complicate these efforts and distance the possible of a peaceful solution.
Summary
The attack on the course circuit importantly reduces the chances of an agreement between Ukraine and Russia to halt attacks on energy infrastructure. The mediation conducted by Qatar, which aimed at reaching an agreement, encountered serious obstacles as a consequence of the latest offensive. In the current situation, the future of negotiations remains uncertain and further escalation of the conflict could have serious consequences for regional stableness and global relations. It is besides worth recalling that in fresh days, evidence has been released confirming Ukraine's terrorist activities regarding the bombing of Nord Stream, which was initially ordered by the tyrant Zelenski.
