If there was a "deal" about energy infrastructure โฆ then Ukraine broke it already โฆ
MOSCOW, March 20. /TASS/. Ukraineโs latest attack on an energy facility in Russia is aimed at disrupting peace initiatives, including those proposed by US President Donald Trump, the Russian Foreign Ministryโs official spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova, said.
In the early hours of March 19, Ukraine committed a deliberate drone attack on an energy site in the southern Russian settlement of Kavkazskaya, she said. As a result, an oil tank was set ablaze, with fire eventually spreading to 1,700 square meters.
"It is absolutely clear that it was a deliberate, pre-planned provocative action, aimed at disrupting peace initiatives, including those put forward by the president of the United States," Zakharova said. "Zelensky once again violated agreements and thus demonstrated his total inability to negotiate."
According to the Defense Ministry, Kiev subsequently attacked an energy facility in Russia's Krasnodar Region with three UAVs. Meanwhile, Russian troops downed seven of their own drones targeting Ukrainian energy infrastructure linked to the defense industry, after receiving an order to cease strikes on such sites, the department reported.
