Kremlin announces Russia praising energy attack truce despite Ukraine’s breechings
(MENAFN) Russia remains committed to its moratorium on attacks against Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, even as Kiev continues to violate the agreement, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated on Monday.
Speaking to reporters, Peskov emphasized that Moscow is still adhering to the partial ceasefire deal, despite Ukraine’s strikes on Russian energy facilities. He confirmed that there have been no new directives from President Vladimir Putin, and that Russian forces are following all orders from their commander-in-chief.
The suspension of strikes was established following a recent phone call between Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump, during which they discussed a potential 30-day ceasefire in the Ukraine conflict. While Russia refrained from agreeing to a full truce—citing concerns over Ukraine’s continued mobilization and the lack of a proper monitoring mechanism—Putin approved a temporary halt on strikes targeting energy infrastructure. Ukraine also signed onto the agreement.
However, Moscow has accused Kiev of breaching the deal almost immediately. Russian officials claim that Ukrainian forces attacked a gas metering station while retreating from Sudzha in Russia’s Kursk Region and also struck an oil depot in the Krasnodar Region. Furthermore, on Monday night, Russian forces intercepted an armed Ukrainian drone near an oil pumping station managed by the Caspian Pipeline Consortium, a company partially owned by American investors.
Commenting on these incidents, Peskov stated that Moscow is closely monitoring the situation and noted that U.S. officials also have the ability to observe and assess the developments.
On Saturday, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova warned that if Ukraine continues its “destructive course,” Russia reserves the right to respond, including with retaliatory strikes.
