Putin said he won't attack Ukraine's energy sector, but that was before Ukraine's Kursk offensive – Russian Security Council Secretary
Russian Security Council Secretary (and former defence minister) Sergei Shoigu has said that before Ukraine’s offensive in Russia’s Kursk Oblast Russian leader Vladimir Putin agreed to Türkiye’s proposal to stop Russian attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure and commercial and civilian ships.

Quote: "Türkiye said to us, they [Ukraine] have this proposal, let’s have [Russia] vouch we wouldn’t strike energy infrastructure, we wouldn’t strike nuclear energy facilities, and we wouldn’t strike commercial civilian fleets in the Black Sea. Our president [Vladimir Putin] made a decision and agreed to this."
Details: Shoigu also claimed that Ukraine rejected this agreement, likely suggesting that the Ukrainian offensive in Russia’s Kursk Oblast is evidence of Ukraine’s alleged rejection.
