Moscow (Reuters)-Kremlin said on Monday that the Russian moratorium on attacks on Ukraine energy infrastructure is still in force despite reports of continuous Ukraine attacks against Russian energy infrastructure targets.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters that Russia was monitoring the situation and that the United States could do the same and reach its own conclusions.
Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed on a connection with his US counterpart Donald Trump on Tuesday last week to observe a 30-day ceasefire on Ukrainian energy targets.
“So far, there have been no other orders from the president,” Peskov said when asked whether Russia intended to keep his moratorium or not.
“Our Armed Forces are following all the instructions of the Supreme Commander, but of course we are monitoring the situation closely. Our American interlocutors are also able to monitor the situation and draw appropriate conclusions.”
Kiev, who accused Russia of disrespecting her moratorium almost immediately, said she would need to sign a formal document to suspend her own attacks, something that didn’t happen.

Firefighters worked on Monday on the fifth day to try to put out a fire in a oil tank in the Krasnodar region of southern Russia, which began last week by a drone attack that authorities blamed Ukraine, the Regional Administration said.
