STORYLINE:
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov emphasized Friday that the agreement reached between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin referred only to energy facilities, adding that the Russian military is fulfilling Putin’s order to halt such attacks for 30 days.
“The Russian military are currently refraining from strikes on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure in accordance with the agreement reached between Russia and the United States,” Peskov said in a conference call with reporters.
Overnight Russian drones pummeled the Ukrainian Black Sea port city of Odesa, injuring three people and sparking fires.
Pesov also accused Kyiv of breaking their part of the agreement and appeared to be referring to Russia’s Defense Ministry accusing Ukrainian forces of blowing up a gas metering station near the town of Sudzha in Russia’s Kursk region.
Ukraine’s military General Staff rejected Moscow’s accusations and blamed the Russian military for shelling the Sudzha gas metering station as part of Russia’s “discrediting campaign.”
"The actions of the Kyiv regime are well known from numerous media reports, and relevant footage has been published, so everyone can see how much trust can be placed in the words," Pesov said.
Peskov also confirmed that talks between the U.S. and Russia will start in Riyadh on Monday.
