Moscow claims Ukraine doesn’t desire peace
(MENAFN) Ukraine’s continued strikes on Russian civilian infrastructure demonstrate that Kiev has no real interest in peace, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has stated.
Following a recent phone call between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump, both Moscow and Kiev agreed to a 30-day partial ceasefire, pledging to suspend attacks on each other’s energy infrastructure. However, Russia’s Defense Ministry has since reported multiple Ukrainian drone strikes on key energy sites, including oil and gas pipelines.
The latest attack reportedly occurred early Monday morning at the Kropotkinskaya oil pumping station in Russia’s Krasnodar Region. The station, operated by the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC), works with major US energy companies such as Mobil and Chevron. According to the Russian Defense Ministry, air defenses intercepted a Ukrainian drone approximately 7km from the facility, with debris falling near a railway station.
Additionally, the ministry claimed that Ukraine had targeted the Glebovskoye gas condensate field in Crimea on March 23 and a gas distribution center in Russia’s Belgorod Region on March 22.
Zakharova suggested that such attacks are a pattern of Kiev’s behavior, particularly ahead of major diplomatic engagements such as the ongoing US-Russia talks in Saudi Arabia.
"Every time, it’s the same scenario," she stated. "Before any diplomatic contacts, including foreign visits to Moscow, the Kiev regime carries out terrorist attacks, strikes civilian infrastructure, and engages in extremist actions. They don’t want peace—they have made that clear many times."
Despite Kiev’s repeated violations, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed that Russia continues to uphold the ceasefire, with no new military directives issued by President Putin.
However, Zakharova warned that Russia reserves the right to retaliate, including with “symmetrical” responses, if Ukraine persists in its attacks.
