Russia accuses Ukraine of violating moratorium on attacks on energy

Russia has once again accused Ukraine of violating a US-brokered pause on attacks on energy infrastructure.

According to foreign media, it is reported that in March, a Washington-brokered agreement led Ukraine and Russia to commit not to targeting oil fields, power plants and other key energy infrastructure on both sides of their shared border.

State media Interfax quoted the Russian Foreign Ministry as saying that Ukraine had carried out 10 attacks on such targets over the past 24 hours.

Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova also said that Ukraine has violated the 30-day moratorium 80 times since it came into force, writes A2 CNN.

Recall that Russia and Ukraine have repeatedly accused each other of violating the pause since it was agreed in March.

Yesterday, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesman told a press conference that Russia attacked energy facilities in Kherson and Mykolaiv in the south and Poltava in the center of the country over the past 24 hours alone.

Earlier this morning, Ukraine's largest private power producer, DTEK, said a Russian attack had damaged its energy infrastructure in the Dnipropetrovsk region. (A2 Televizion)
