US President Donald Trump announced an "energy ceasefire" between Ukraine and Russia, but Moscow has still received no specific details about it, according to Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, reports Vesti.
On the morning of October 14, Russia's defense ministry officially acknowledged that the aggressor country continues to launch strikes on Ukraine amid discussions about an "energy ceasefire."
It stated that last night, the Russian army launched new strikes on communications and energy facilities in Kyiv, the Kyiv region, and the Kharkiv region.
Moreover, the ministry added that this time, it used "high-precision land-based weapons" and "long-range attack drones."
Against the backdrop of the latest developments, Russian propagandists decided to ask Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov why this was happening and whether it meant that Moscow was dissatisfied with Trump's decision.
The Kremlin representative began claiming that the energy ceasefire proposed by Trump had not been specified, and therefore, he argued, it could not be claimed that Russia was failing to observe it.
"Work in this direction is ongoing," Peskov added.
Russia-Ukraine 'energy ceasefire'
On October 11, US President Donald Trump stated that an "energy ceasefire" had begun between Ukraine and Russia, which both sides had allegedly agreed to.
He publicly urged Kyiv and Moscow not to violate it.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy immediately responded to the White House chief's statement. He admitted that he was hearing about such an "agreement" for the first time.
Despite this, the Ukrainian leader emphasized that Kyiv was ready to cease fire if Moscow did the same.
On the same day, Zelenskyy reported that Russia had already violated the "energy ceasefire" by striking Thermal Power Plant No. 5 in Kharkiv.
