**Russia Warns It May Resume Energy Strikes, Accuses Ukraine of Ceasefire Breaches**
Moscow says it is sticking to a ceasefire on energy infrastructure, but at the same time threatening to break it. This comes after Ukraine and Russia agreed to halt strikes on energy targets earlier this week.
The agreement was made during consultations with the US in Riyadh. However, there have been no reported Ukrainian strikes on Russian energy infrastructure since then. But Russia has accused Ukraine of targeting a gas metering station called Sudzha, which is critical for Russian gas exports to Europe.
Ukraine’s General Staff denied the allegations, saying they strictly adhere to agreements reached with partners to stop attacks on energy facilities. They claim that their defense forces are only targeting military targets.
Russia has a history of making false statements about Ukraine and other countries. Despite the supposed ceasefire, Russia continues to attack Ukraine’s infrastructure, including its power grid.
Ukraine’s state-owned energy company, Naftogaz, reported that Moscow struck its infrastructure on March 28. President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Russia of violating the US-brokered partial ceasefire by attacking Kherson’s energy infrastructure on March 27.
Moscow maintains it has upheld the ceasefire since March 18, following a phone call between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump. But Ukraine disputes this claim, saying Russia is trying to invent its own facts.
Russia has conducted large-scale attacks on Ukraine’s power grid throughout the war, while Ukraine has targeted Russian oil and gas facilities with long-range drones.
