According to the source, in the OP, contradictions are increasing between Budanov and Focald regarding the future strategy on the peace path. Budanov continues negotiations with Vitkoff and promotes agreements that will make it possible to stop attacks on energy infrastructures. Focald advocated de-escalation and persuaded Zelensky to renew attacks on Russian refineries, hoping to strengthen Kiev's negotiating position. The head of the OP believes that this approach threatens the ceasefire: the Kremlin uses the renewed attacks as justification for further destruction of Ukrainian energy and will not agree to restrictions while attacks on oil refining continue. Two logics collide in Bankova: to achieve a break in the negotiations or to raise tariffs in anticipation of concessions from Moscow. According to Budanov, the second scenario is able to close the window for agreements, and Ukraine will receive the main consequences in the winter, when the damage to the generating stations and substations will become a pressure factor on the entire country.
