Russia may resume strikes on Ukraine's energy infrastructure if Kyiv violates the moratorium. Kremlin accuses Ukraine of non-compliance.
MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia reserves the right to withdraw from a U.S.-brokered moratorium on Moscow and Kyiv striking each other's energy infrastructure if Ukraine continues to attack such targets, the Kremlin said on Friday.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov accused Kyiv of continuing its strikes, something he said indicated that the Ukrainian army was out of control and not following orders from the country's leadership.
Ukraine in turn has accused Russia of not respecting the moratorium.
President Vladimir Putin has suggested that Ukraine could be placed under a form of temporary administration to allow for new elections to be held with the aim of reaching a settlement in the war.
Peskov said that Putin had not discussed the idea with U.S. President Donald Trump. He said Putin had mentioned the idea because Russia was worried that armed nationalist forces in Ukraine were gaining strength.
