Russia rejected Ukraine's offer to protect food ships, demanding a trade
Moscow wants to tie any maritime truce to Kyiv stopping its attacks on Russian oil and gas facilities.

He noted that protecting Russian fuel sites would only happen if Moscow agreed to stop bombing the Ukrainian electricity network.
