As Kyiv and Moscow prepare for talks to implement a temporary cease-fire on energy strikes, accusations of attacks on power infrastructure persist. Despite a 30-day cease-fire agreement, reports of mutual blame and ongoing hostilities reveal deep mistrust. A gas station fire near the border has drawn attention, with Kyiv and Moscow trading accusations of responsibility. These developments, coupled with reported drone strikes and attacks, highlight the challenges of maintaining peace and trust ahead of U.S.-mediated discussions aimed at fostering de-escalation.
Unverified videos shared by Russian military bloggers showed a large fire at the station, which once pumped gas to Europe through Ukraine, with what appeared to be pipelines engulfed in flames.
Both sides have an interest in blaming the other for violating the cease-fire before it even begins, seeking to portray their opponent as untrustworthy.
