Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Russia has never threatened Ukraine's energy system. According to him, a proposal to impose a moratorium on attacks on energy facilities was voiced during negotiations with the United States, but Russia does not attack civilian objects.
Lavrov stressed that the Russian side has always acted within the limits of its statements, and that their operations did not endanger Ukraine's critical infrastructure, which belongs to civilian objects. The minister also noted that after negotiations with the United States, Russia demanded that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky "reason.".
These statements by Lavrov sparked further controversy in international circles, as the repeated strikes on Ukrainian energy facilities carried out by the Russian army during the conflict became one of the main topics for international criticism of Russia.
