Ukraine has always supported the position of silence in the sky, at sea, and halting attacks on the energy sector.

The head of state stated this during an online press conference Tuesday night, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

"We have always supported the position of silence and not hitting energy facilities with any weapons, as well as silence in the sky. And also not to attacking at sea, port infrastructure, food security corridor, etc. We came out with this. These were our proposals. We will support any proposals that lead to a sustainable and just peace," Zelensky said.
