Russia: Ukraine continues its attacks on Russian oil refineries

In his statement to journalists in the capital Moscow, Peskov evaluated the words of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy regarding the lifting of the ban on attacks on Russian oil refineries.

Recalling the statement made yesterday by Russian Deputy Prime Minister Aleksandr Novak, Peskov said, "Actually, no ceasefire was implemented by Ukraine. Attacks on our oil refineries and energy facilities continued during this period. Therefore, there is nothing new here. The Kiev administration continues its attacks on these facilities, thus seriously contradicting the peace efforts of the United States and American negotiators." he said.

Dmitry Peskov pointed out that global energy markets are going through a tense period and stated that Russia's inability to export a significant amount of oil and oil products is among the factors affecting the negative situation in the markets.

Stating that Russian oil products have started to reach the world markets again, Peskov said, "Currently, a significant amount of diesel fuel is being shipped and this fuel has started to reach the world markets. This will have a positive impact on the stabilization of the oil markets, but it will not completely stabilize the markets." he said.

Peskov also criticized the attitude of European countries towards the energy agreement in question and noted that Europe, instead of welcoming the agreement, harshly criticized US President Donald Trump and the decision of the American administration.
