Ukraine sees March 25 as the beginning of the 30-day pause on energy site strikes, a senior presidential adviser said Friday, rejecting Russia’s suggestion that the moratorium on attacks was over.
Dmytro Lytvyn, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s communications adviser, told reporters that Kyiv considers the truce to have started when the White House issued official statements on the matter.
'We consider the beginning of the agreement with the American side to be March 25, when the White House published the corresponding statements,” Lytvyn said.
“But given the inadequacy of the Russians and intelligence data: yesterday President Zelenskyy warned of the threat of Russian strikes on energy facilities on the eve of Easter or after it,” he added.
The remarks came after Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov claimed Russia’s month-long pause in attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure had expired.
