He also argued that it would be illogical to comply with the moratorium "and face attempted attacks on our energy infrastructure every night".
Background:
- On Friday 28 March, Naftogaz, Ukraine's largest national oil and gas company, reported that Russia had launched a combined strike on its infrastructure, damaging gas production facilities.
- Ukraine's General Staff has repeatedly stated that the Russian Ministry of Defence is falsely claiming that Ukraine has targeted energy facilities.
