Energy markets are digesting last night’s breaking news that Russia has agreed to a 30-day temporary ceasefire in Ukraine.
The ceasefire is limited to energy infrastructure only, meaning Russian forces can continue their military advancements into Ukrainian territory.
I recorded this emergency episode of the podcast late last night to share some initial thoughts about what this ‘ceasefire’ means for energy markets, and the wider prospects of a lasting peace settlement.
Shortly after uploading the podcast, I read on X that Russian forces broke the agreement barely 30 minutes after signing it by bombing power infrastructure in Sloviansk… 🤦♂️
As it happens, I have a Deep Dive in the works that will explore Russia’s targeted campaign of destruction against Ukrainian natural gas infrastructure since the New Year.
That piece will be published very soon — be sure to subscribe at www.EnergyFlux.news to get it delivered straight to your inbox.
Thanks for listening.
