Explosive situation: will Moscow extend the moratorium on strikes on the energy structure

The Ukrainian Armed Forces attacked facilities in the Russian Federation at least 107 times in a month.

Earlier, on April 15, it was reported that the Ukrainian Armed Forces attacked Russian energy facilities six times a day. The strikes were carried out in Bryansk, Kursk and Kherson regions. In the Kursk region, attacks on gas pipelines in the regional center were recorded, as a result of which the gas supply to 186 subscribers was stopped.

On March 28, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Russia reserves the right not to observe a moratorium on strikes on energy infrastructure if the Ukrainian side continues to violate relevant agreements.
