Russia and Ukraine Exchange Blame Over Ongoing Strikes and Energy Attacks
Amid rising tensions, Russia and Ukraine have accused each other of escalating attacks on energy infrastructure, with both sides claiming violations of a ceasefire agreement and a moratorium on strikes. Russia stated that Ukraine has attacked its energy facilities five times in the last 24 hours, while Ukrainian officials accused Russia of inflicting damage on numerous energy sites over the course of the conflict. The foreign ministers from both nations engaged in a heated exchange of accusations at a forum in Turkey, as allegations continued regarding the use of drones targeting critical gas infrastructure. These developments followed the departure of a U.S. envoy from Moscow, prompting further assertions from each side about failing to adhere to an expected pause in hostilities.
