Russia breaks the agreement? Peskov's alarming statement
The Kremlin's spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov, expressed Russia's position on the ceasefire in Ukraine.
- Russia reserves the right not to comply with the moratorium on strikes against energy infrastructure, which Ukraine constantly violates. Otherwise, it would be illogical - said Peskov.
As a reminder, according to the Trump administration's view, the agreement was meant to bring us closer to lasting peace. The Kremlin's position may mean that the conflict in Ukraine could enter a new phase.
According to Ukrainian media, such a statement is effectively a breach of the agreement.
The Kyiv Post described Peskov's statement as the Kremlin's admission of withdrawing from the 30-day ceasefire agreement.
Why is Russia rejecting the memorandum?
As covered by WP, the Kremlin accused Ukraine of violating ceasefire conditions through attacks on Russian energy facilities.
Dmitry Peskov stated that Ukraine does not adhere to the ceasefire agreement and that its armed forces allegedly operate uncontrollably.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine responded to the Russian accusations, refuting Peskov's statements. They emphasize that Ukraine does not attack energy facilities on Russian territory.
Much of the information provided by Russian media or government representatives is considered to be part of propaganda. Such reports are part of the information war conducted by the Russian Federation.
