Russia accuses Ukraine of trying to attack its energy facilities despite moratorium
Reuters
Russia has accused Ukraine of attempting to strike civilian energy infrastructure in Crimea, Kursk, and Bryansk, despite a reported U.S.-brokered agreement to temporarily suspend such attacks.
Russia's Defence Ministry accused Ukraine of attempting to strike civilian energy infrastructure in multiple regions, despite a reported U.S.-brokered moratorium on such attacks. The ministry stated that Ukraine targeted a gas storage facility in Crimea, along with energy sites in Russia's Kursk and Bryansk regions. This comes after an agreement between Russia and Ukraine to suspend strikes on critical infrastructure, including oil refineries, gas pipelines, and nuclear facilities, for 30 days. The Kremlin had confirmed the temporary ceasefire arrangement, highlighting efforts to reduce tensions in the ongoing conflict. However, the recent accusations suggest that the situation remains fraught with uncertainty and distrust.
