Russia’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova warned Saturday that Moscow reserves the right to respond, including “symmetrically,” if Ukraine continues attacks on Russian energy infrastructure. Zakharova accused Ukraine of violating a US-brokered understanding that aimed to prevent attacks on energy facilities.”Despite the agreement, which Kiev seemed to have officially supported, treacherous attacks on Russian territory continue,” she said, describing the Ukrainian government as a “Nazi regime” and alleging it also targets civilian sites.
Russian drones kill 3 in Zaporizhzhia despite talks
Three people were killed and 12 others injured in a Russian drone strike on the Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia, Ukrainian officials reported Saturday. The attack came despite a recently announced limited ceasefire, raising questions about its scope and enforcement. Regional governor Ivan Fedorov said fires broke out in residential areas, damaging homes, vehicles, and social infrastructure. Ukraine’s air force said Russia launched 179 drones and decoys overnight, of which 100 were intercepted and 63 likely jammed. Debris also caused fires in the Kiev and Dnipropetrovsk regions. Russia claimed it shot down 47 Ukrainian drones in a separate attack.
