Kiev's forces keep violating the US-brokered truce prohibiting such strikes, Moscow's Defense Ministry has said
The Ukrainian military has targeted two energy facilities in Russia's Belgorod Region over the past 24 hours, the Defense Ministry in Moscow has said.
Russian President Vladimir Putin accepted a proposal by his US counterpart Donald Trump to adhere to a 30-day pause on targeting energy facilities operated by Kiev and Moscow during their phone call on March 18.
Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky also said that his country would abide by the truce. However, the Russian military has since accused Kiev's forces of breaching the partial ceasefire on an almost daily basis.
"In violation of the Russia-US agreement, Kiev continues its unilateral attacks on Russian energy infrastructure," the ministry said in a statement on Sunday.
On Saturday evening, more than 600 households were left without electricity in Belgorod Region's Shebekinsky District of as a result of the "deliberate shelling" of a local energy facility by the Ukrainian forces, the statement read.
On Sunday morning, another bombardment of energy infrastructure by Kiev's troops led to power shortages in the village of Stepnoye in Krasnoyaruzhsky District, it added.
