Ukraine ‘does not trust Russia’, warn

London – The success of an emerging potential agreement between Ukraine and Russia, the attacks by the naval and energy infrastructure, depicted Moscow.

“Now results from Russia are needed,” said Zelenskyy on Tuesday in his evening address. “We do not trust them. And frankly – the world does not trust Russia. And they have to prove that they are really ready to end the war – ready to lies to the world against President (Donald) Trump and America.”

“How Russia will behave in the coming days will reveal a lot – if not everything,” he said.

“If there are air raids again when there are renewed military activities in the Black Sea, when Russian manipulations and threats are continued, new measures have to be taken, especially against Moscow,” said Zelenskyy.

Russia and Ukraine agreed to “ensure safe navigation, to eliminate the use of violence and to prevent the use of merchant ships for military purposes in the Black Sea,” said the interpreters of the White House, which was published on Tuesday after three days with representatives of Kyiv and Moscow in Saudi Arabia.

The nations also agreed to “measures to implement the agreement to ban strikes against energy facilities in Russia and Ukraine,” said the White House. Trump said, “We are making a lot of progress.”

Despite the obvious progress in a partial ceasefire agreement, the drone attacks lasted until Wednesday until Tuesday evening.

According to Ukraine’s Air Force, Russia started 117 drones into the country overnight, 56 of which were shot down and 48 were lost in flight. “The regions Sumy, Dnipropetrovsk, Kirovohrad and Cherkasy were affected by the Russian attack,” wrote the Air Force on telegram.

In Russia, the Ministry of Defense announced that its forces had broken nine Ukrainian drones, including two above the Black Sea. In the Western Belgorod region, governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said that a drone attack wounded and broke the windows of several buildings.

On Wednesday morning, Zelenskyy said in a statement on Telegram that “there were 117 further evidence in our sky that Russia pulled out this war – 117 strike drones.” He added “in order to start the big strikes after ceasefire negotiations, it means to show everyone in the world with all the obviously that Moscow will not make any real peace.”

“Strong steps from the world and a clear pressure on Russia are required,” continued Zelenskyy. “More pressure, more sanctions from the USA, so that the Russian blows stop.”

Questions about the nuances and the scope of the agreements. Russia and Ukraine both published their own advertisements, in which different elements of what is supposedly matched with the USA, emphasized

Russia, for example, that the USA has agreed to “restore access to the world market for Russian exports of agricultural products and fertilizers” in order to reduce the costs of mail order insurance and to expand access to ports and payment systems. Such steps have to be lifted some sanctions against Russian agricultural and food companies, said the Kremlin.

This point was not reflected in the Ukrainian advertisement. Kyiv’s announcement also said that the United States would help the prisoner of war, the release of civil prisoners and the return of violent Ukrainian children – a topic that was not mentioned in Russian selection.

After Putin spoke to Trump last week, the White House said that a proposed 30-day armistice would comply with attacks on “energy and infrastructure”. The Kremlin said the agreement referred to “energy infrastructure”. The white house’s explanation on Tuesday was returned to the wording used by Russia.

Russia said the proposed 30-day break during attacks on the energy infrastructure began on March 18 and published a list of facilities on Tuesday that is subject to the break in strikes. Moscow said both sides could choose from freezing in the event of violations of the other. All core and other power plants, oil and gas deposits, pipes and storage facilities as well as hydropower strains were among the facilities.

The Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov repeated the same demands on reporters on Wednesday.

“What it means or not, I can only repeat what I said both the day before yesterday and yesterday: Putin’s order on the moratorium (on strikes on energy devices) is in force and is implemented by our forces,” said Peskov.

Both sides have accused the other to continue to attack energy and other critical infrastructure goals during the ceasefire negotiations.

The communication consultant of Zelenskyy, Dmytro Lytvyn, said on Tuesday in a post on X that Russia had hit the Ukrainian energy infrastructure eight times since March 18. In the regions of Dnipropetrovsk and Kherson, a substation and transformers were attacked, Lytvyn told ABC News.

Since then there have been no attacks on the Ukrainian energy infrastructure, Zelenskyy said during a press conference from Paris on Wednesday.

Ukraine has had the Russian energy infrastructure since Tuesday, when Ukraine after the conversations in Riad, Zelenskyy no longer added the Russian energy infrastructure when Ukraine agreed to part of the SEA and energy cautial emergency.

During his evening video approach on Tuesday, Zelenskyy said that the acquaintance was to be successful in the success of the partial ceasefire in Moscow.

“Diplomacy has to work,” he added. “And we do everything from the Ukrainian side to achieve this. I thank everyone who helps. I am grateful to the United States for the constructive and effective work of our teams.”
