The Kremlin has confirmed that it will announce when the moratorium on strikes against each other’s energy infrastructure between Russia and Ukraine, brokered by the United States, will come to an end.

The agreement, which was signed on March 18 following talks in Saudi Arabia, was intended to last 30 days and is part of broader efforts to ensure safe navigation in the Black Sea.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Wednesday that the Russian government is not yet ready to disclose the specific date of the moratorium’s conclusion. "We will inform you. I am not yet ready to inform you about the decision made," Peskov said, while accusing Kyiv of failing to fully observe the terms of the agreement.

Despite the pause in attacks, both Russia and Ukraine have regularly accused each other of violations. The Russian Defense Ministry reported that over the past day, six attacks on its energy infrastructure had been recorded, five of which were in the border regions of Belgorod, Bryansk, and Kursk. Additionally, a transformer in the Russian-controlled part of Ukraine’s southern Kherson region was reportedly set on fire.

Ukrainian officials have not yet responded to Russia’s claims, and it remains unclear whether any steps will be taken to address the accusations. The ceasefire and energy infrastructure moratorium were seen as a significant de-escalation effort amid ongoing hostilities between the two countries.
