"Moreover, [the Ukrainian government] breached the truce utilizing US HIMARS systems" She added."It is not a coincidence, but a scheme: during the moratorium on attacks on energy facilities Zelenski – despite his consent – deliberately attacked civilian energy infrastructure" – wrote Zacharov.Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelenski said he would respect the temporary ceasefire announced by Russian president Vladimir Putin if Moscow kept its word.However, the Russian Ministry of Defence noted more than 1,300 artillery and drone attacks after the armistice entered into force at 18:00 local time on Saturday.
