Ukraine instantly breaks Putin-Trump agreement on energy targets
(MENAFN) Russia has accused Ukraine of breaching a recently agreed ceasefire by launching a drone attack on an oil transfer facility in Russia’s Krasnodar Region. The facility, which is linked to an international pipeline partly owned by US energy firms, was targeted overnight, Moscow’s Defense Ministry announced on Wednesday.
The alleged violation came just hours after a phone call between US President Donald trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday. During the two-hour conversation, the two leaders discussed progress toward a truce in the Ukraine conflict. As part of the agreement, Moscow committed to halting strikes on Ukrainian infrastructure for 30 days, with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky publicly supporting the initiative.
According to Russian officials, three kamikaze drones struck an oil transfer station near the village of Kavkazskaya. The facility plays a key role in transporting crude oil from rail tankers to a pipeline operated by the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC), which includes US companies Chevron and Mobil among its stakeholders. The attack reportedly damaged an oil reservoir and triggered a fire that has yet to be extinguished.
The Russian Defense Ministry condemned the strike, calling it a “deliberate provocation by the Kiev regime aimed at undermining the US president’s peace initiative.”
Moscow also revealed that at the time of Putin’s ceasefire order, seven Russian kamikaze drones were already in flight toward military targets in Ukraine’s Nikolayev Region. To comply with the agreement, Russian forces used air defense systems and a fighter jet to neutralize all seven drones.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov later stated that the incident raises questions about Ukraine’s commitment to de-escalation. Russian officials, he added, are now assessing whether Kiev is genuinely supporting Trump and Putin’s efforts to secure peace.
