Russia And Ukraine Accuse Each Other Of Violating Energy Strikes Agreement

Russia and Ukraine on Thursday each accused the other of breaching commitments not to strike energy facilities, throwing yet more jeopardy on the prospects of even a temporary and partial halt in the three-year war.

Moscow accused Kyiv's army of directly targeting energy sites, while Ukraine said it qualified a Russian strike that knocked out power for tens of thousands of people as a "violation" of its commitment to pause attacks on energy infrastructure.

The White House had said on Tuesday that both Kyiv and Moscow agreed separately to "develop measures for implementing" a halt on strikes on energy infrastructure.
