[Regnum] Over the past 24 hours, the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) have carried out six strikes on energy infrastructure facilities in four regions of Russia. This was reported on April 16 by the Russian Defense Ministry.
On April 15, as a result of shelling by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, a 35 kV high-voltage line was de-energized in the Belgorod Region, leaving about 17,400 residents of the Grayvoronsky District without power. On the night of April 16, a UAV attack on a 110 kV substation led to a power outage for more than 4,600 consumers in the Krasnoyarsk District.
On April 15, two strikes on power facilities were recorded in the Bryansk region: a 35 kV substation was damaged, and power lines were torn off. This left residents of the village of Podyvotye in the Sevsky district without electricity.
In Kursk Oblast on the same day, a UAV strike resulted in the shutdown of a 35 kV power line. On April 16, the Sivash wind power plant in Kherson Oblast was hit. As a result of the drone attack, a transformer caught fire, and the power of the plant decreased by 30 MW.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, during the previous 24 hours, the Ukrainian Armed Forces also carried out six strikes on Russian energy infrastructure. Objects in the Bryansk, Kherson and Kursk regions were attacked.
On March 18, Russian President Vladimir Putin supported the proposal of his American counterpart Donald Trump for a moratorium on attacks on energy facilities between Russia and Ukraine for 30 days. The Russian leader immediately ordered the Russian Armed Forces to cease attacks, and they neutralized seven of their UAVs, which at the same time were flying to attack energy infrastructure in the Nikolaev region.
The head of the Kiev regime, Volodymyr Zelensky, publicly supported this decision. However, already on the night of March 19, the Ukrainian Armed Forces attacked an energy facility in the Krasnodar region and since then have regularly attacked Russian energy infrastructure, violating the moratorium.
Russia, despite the actions of the Kiev regime, has not yet resumed strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure. On April 15, when asked by journalists when the moratorium would end, Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov promised to report this later.

The end date of the moratorium on strikes on Ukrainian energy facilities will be announced later. This was stated at a briefing on April 16 by the press secretary of the Russian president Dmitry Peskov.
He was asked to clarify from what hour exactly the moratorium on strikes on energy facilities would begin.
