Ukraines General Staff has rejected recent Russian claims that Ukraine has violated ceasefire agreements regarding energy facilities, emphasising that Ukrainian defence forces target only military facilities.
Source Ukraines General Staff Quote The Russian Ministry of Defence is once again spreading lies about Ukraines alleged violation of the ceasefire agreements regarding energy facilities.
The enemy is doing this solely to shift the worlds attention away from the crimes that the Russian state is committing against Ukraine and Ukrainians.
For example, new disinformation accusations have emerged from the Russian side about 14 attacks by the Ukrainian defence forces against Russian energy infrastructure during the day on 4 April.
The attacks are fake.
In fact, the Ukrainian defence forces have been targeting only the military targets of the Russian occupation army.
Details The General Staff stressed that it is the Russians who disregard any agreements and carry out attacks against Ukrainian civilian infrastructure and civilian towns and villages.
In particular, the Ukrainian military highlighted the Russian attack on the city of Kryvyi Rih on 4 April, which resulted in the deaths of 9 children and 9 adults, with 62 others injured, along with other attacks.
The defence ministry of the terrorist state is once again resorting to false accusations, trying to shift its own responsibility for the prolongation of the war and the loss of life onto Ukraine.
We hope that the world will not accept Russian lies and will condemn yet another brutal Russian war crime, the General Staff stressed.
Background On Thursday, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that the Ukrainian defence forces are adhering to the terms of the energy truce, while Russian media outlets are spreading false claims about Ukraines attacks on energy facilities in Russia and the occupied territories.
Meanwhile, numerous violations of these agreements by the Russian military have been recorded.
Pavlo Palisa, Deputy Head of the Ukrainian Presidents Office, stated that Ukraine considers the ceasefire agreements to be in effect while also providing the United States with evidence of Russian attacks.
However, Kremlin negotiator Kirill Dmitriev, who was visiting Washington, accused Ukraine of violating the energy truce during an appearance on US television.
