Earlier on Thursday, the Defense Department in Moscow claimed that Ukraine continued to fire at Russian energy infrastructure, even after reports of a ceasefire.

Hours earlier, a high-ranking Ukrainian source had told the AFP news agency that there had been no direct attacks on the energy sector from either side since March 25.

When Volodymyr Zelenskyj met the press after Thursday's top meeting in Paris, it sounded different. According to the president, energy infrastructure in Kherson had been damaged by Russian artillery, leaving civilians without electricity.

According to Zelenskyj, it is "unclear who is monitoring" that the promises of a partial ceasefire are being kept, and he is calling for an American reaction to the Russian "violations".
