Place: Moscow, KyivRegion: Ukraine-wide and the front lineautomatic summary
Where the versions diverge
Russia accuses Ukraine of striking two refineries, Kyiv denies it, and there is no independent confirmation of refinery strikes. At the same time the Kremlin questions the very terms of the truce Trump announced.
What Russia reports
automatic summary Peskov said the energy truce proposed by Trump had not been specified and work on it continues, and that Europeans, unlike the US, are doing everything to keep the war going. Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said that, according to the Energy Ministry and companies, Ukraine attacked two refineries — in Saratov and Ryazan regions — and shows no movement towards a truce.
“По данным Минэнерго и компаний сегодня киевским режимом были атакованы два нефтеперерабатывающих завода - в Саратовской и Рязанской областях.”
