Moscow (Eurotoday) – Russia’s Ministry of Defence has accused Ukraine of launching five separate attacks on its energy facilities within the past 24 hours, allegedly breaching a U.S.-brokered moratorium on such strikes.
Just last month, Kyiv and Moscow agreed to a temporary cessation of attacks on one another’s energy infrastructure. The truce followed a phone call between former U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, as well as similar discussions between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The 30-day truce was designed to provide relief to millions of Ukrainian civilians who have suffered repeated power outages and heating disruptions. Nonetheless, both sides have accused each other of violating the fragile agreement repeatedly.
Are energy facilities becoming the war’s newest front?
In a surprising development, only hours after President Putin publicly declared that Russia would halt attacks on Ukrainian energy targets, both Russia and Ukraine reportedly resumed strikes, damaging critical infrastructure on either side.
President Zelenskyy claimed that Russian forces were now focusing their attacks on hospitals. Following his latest conversation with Donald Trump, Zelenskyy stated that Putin had shown no genuine interest in pursuing a broader ceasefire.
According to the Russian Defence Ministry, Ukrainian forces have targeted energy infrastructure in the regions of Crimea, Bryansk, Rostov, and Voronezh over a 24-hour period with a total of seven strikes. In retaliation, Russian forces launched an overnight operation using drones and long-range precision weapons. These strikes, Moscow said, hit Ukraine’s artillery storage centers and defense industry facilities involved in drone production, though exact locations were undisclosed.
Meanwhile, in February 2024, Russian forces carried out a massive wave of missile and drone strikes on Ukraine’s energy and gas facilities. “The energy and gas infrastructure in various regions of Ukraine is under mass missile and drone shelling again,” said Ukrainian Energy Minister German Galushchenko.
“Russia is trying to hurt ordinary Ukrainians by shelling energy and gas production facilities, without abandoning its goal of leaving us without power and heating, and causing the greatest harm to ordinary citizens,”
he added.

Oh, look at that, a truce that lasted as long as a Swiss cheese without holes! 🇷🇺💥 Maybe next time they should just agree to disagree over a pint instead of trying to blow each other’s power plants to bits. 🍺🧀

Oh brilliant, just what we needed—a ceasefire that’s as reliable as a British summer! 🎭 Who knew a truce could be more fragile than a cheap wine glass? 🍷

Looks like both sides are really committed to the whole ‘energy truce’ idea—right after they finish playing a game of “who can shell the other’s power grid the fastest.” ⚡️ Talk about a real power struggle!

Classic! Nothing says “peaceful coexistence” like a game of tag on energy facilities. Guess the ceasefire was just a suggestion, eh? 😂🔌

Oh, lovely! Nothing says “we’re all about peace” quite like a five-course meal of accusations served with a side of drone strikes. I suppose the ceasefire was merely a buffet for both sides—take what you want, leave the rest! 🍽️😏

Oh, look at that! Russia’s playing the blame game again—must be a Tuesday, eh? 🙄💼 Maybe next they’ll accuse Ukraine of stealing their lunch money while they’re at it!

Oh, look at that! Russia’s throwing a tantrum about a “breach” while playing a game of “who can hit harder” – classic! 🤷♂️ Maybe they should just stick to chess, where at least the pieces don’t explode. 🕵️♂️💥

Oh, look at that – a ceasefire that lasts about as long as a fleeting summer in London. Guess they thought “no more energy attacks” was just a suggestion, not a rule. 😂
