Moscow insists a 30-day truce on energy infrastructure has been in effect since March 18, but the monitoring of it is unclear and both Russia and Ukraine have accused each other of repeatedly breaking it.
“Over the past 24 hours, the Kyiv regime continued its attacks on Russian energy infrastructure using various types of drones and HIMARS multiple rocket launchers,” the Russian defence ministry said.
It said Ukraine fired rockets at the Sudzha gas metering station in the Kursk region, already damaged in an earlier attack, as well as 19 drones at the Saratov oil refinery in central Russia.
The White House had said on Tuesday that both Kyiv and Moscow agreed separately to “develop measures for implementing” a halt on strikes on energy infrastructure, following talks in Saudi Arabia.
Kyiv says Moscow has broken its own commitment not to strike Ukrainian energy targets multiple times, and has called for the United States, which has brokered multiple talks between the two sides, to react.
This is a developing story and more information will follow.
