Russian sources continued to claim without evidence that Ukrainian forces violated the temporary energy infrastructure strikes ceasefire. The Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) claimed on April 3 that Ukrainian forces struck electrical substations in Bryansk Oblast and occupied Zaporizhzhia Oblast on April 2.[11] Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova claimed on April 3 that Ukrainian forces have conducted over 30 strikes on Russian energy facilities since March 18, when Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the unilateral suspension of Russian strikes against Ukrainian energy infrastructure.[12]
The Ukrainian General Staff reported on April 3 that Ukrainian forces are adhering to the terms of the temporary ceasefire on energy infrastructure strikes and are conducting strikes solely on Russian military targets.[13] The Ukrainian General Staff reported that Russian forces have violated the ceasefire several times since Ukraine, the United, States, and Russia agreed to the temporary ceasefire on energy infrastructure strikes and struck energy infrastructure in Kharkiv, Poltava, Dnipropetrovsk, and Kherson oblasts in late March 2025.
