Kiev Violated Halt on Strikes Against Energy Facilities Over 60 Times, Russian Foreign Ministry Says
08:31 12.04.2025 (Updated: 08:35 12.04.2025) MOSCOW (Sputnik) - On March 18, Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke to his US counterpart Donald Trump, who proposed a 30-day halt on strikes against energy infrastructure between Russia and Ukraine. Putin backed the initiative, and Ukraine's Zelensky later also claimed support.
Since the agreement on a 30-day moratorium on strikes against energy facilities was reached, Kiev has violated it more than 60 times, Alexey Polishchuk, Director of the Second Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) Department at the Russian Foreign Ministry, told Sputnik.
"The Kiev regime is indeed maliciously violating the 30-day moratorium on strikes on energy facilities, which was agreed upon on March 18 by the presidents of Russia and the United States [Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump] and then supported by [Volodymyr] Zelensky. Since this agreement was reached, the Ukrainian side has violated it more than 60 times," the Russian official said.
According to Polishchuk, attempts to strike Russian energy facilities are made several times each day.
"This can be happening for two reasons. Either Kiev did not give the order to cease shelling, or the order is not being followed. Both of these reasons are extremely worrying," he explained.
If there was no order given, then we are dealing with deliberate sabotage of agreements, the official added.
"Russia, in its turn, respects the moratorium and records all cases of its violation committed by Kiev," the official emphasized.
