Russia’s Defence Ministry accused Ukraine of launching new drone attacks on energy facilities in Russia’s Belgorod region and in the Russia-controlled part of Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia region.
Volodymyr Zelensky accused Russia of failing to uphold its commitment to a ceasefire targeting the energy infrastructure. He said: “I’ve asked our side to pass information through various institutions about Russia’s breaches of the agreement not to strike energy facilities.”
Mr Zelensky added that reports have been sent almost daily. He said: “We’re sharing this information with the United States, and we see America is beginning to understand it.”
Deadly attacks by both Russia and Ukraine continue as they gear up for spring campaigns in their war of attrition along the roughly 620-mile long front line. Overnight, Russia didn’t fire Shahed drones at Ukraine for the first time in more than five months, according to authorities.
Andrii Kovalenko, Head of the Counter-Disinformation branch of Ukraine’s Security Council, detected no change in Russian strategy. He posted on Telegram: “For now, this means nothing.”
