Sat Apr 19 14:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Russia and Ukraine Accuse Each Other of Violating Energy Infrastructure Moratorium
**NEW DELHI, April 19, 2025** – Tensions remain high between Russia and Ukraine following accusations of repeated violations of a recently expired energy infrastructure moratorium. The Russian Defence Ministry reported 10 Ukrainian attacks on Russian energy facilities in the past 24 hours. While a 30-day moratorium brokered by the U.S. ended in March, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated on Friday that no presidential orders have been issued to alter Russia’s stance on targeting energy infrastructure. Both sides have consistently accused each other of violating the agreement throughout its duration. The situation highlights the ongoing fragility of the truce and the continuing risk of escalation in the conflict.
