[Regnum] On March 25, the Kremlin press service published a list of Russian and Ukrainian facilities agreed upon by the Russian Federation and the United States that fall under the moratorium on attacks on the energy system.
The list includes oil refineries, oil and gas pipelines and storage facilities, including pumping stations, electricity generation and transmission infrastructure, including power plants, substations, transformers and distributors, as well as nuclear power plants and hydroelectric dams.
"The temporary moratorium is valid for 30 days, starting from March 18, 2025, and, by mutual agreement, may be extended. In the event of a violation of the moratorium by one of the parties, the other party has the right to consider itself free from obligations to comply with it," the statement said.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, on March 18, Russian and US Presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump agreed on an initiative to stop mutual strikes on energy facilities by Moscow and Kiev. The Russian President gave the corresponding order to the Russian Armed Forces, after which the military shot down seven of their own drones that had been previously launched towards Ukraine. The head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, also publicly supported the agreement, pointing out that Ukraine had allegedly always advocated for stopping strikes on energy facilities.
That same night, the Ukrainian Armed Forces launched three drones at an oil depot near the village of Kavkazskaya in the Krasnodar Territory. On March 21, Ukrainian forces blew up the Sudzha gas distribution station in the Kursk Region. On March 23, the Ukrainian Armed Forces struck an electrical substation in Polohy in the Zaporizhia Region. On March 24, the Ministry of Defense reported that the Ukrainian Armed Forces attempted to attack the Kropotkinskaya oil pumping station in the Krasnodar Territory and a gas distribution station near Belgorod with a drone.
In addition, on March 25, the military department reported attempts to attack energy facilities in the Krasnodar Territory, the LPR and Crimea. The Ministry of Defense emphasized that Zelensky, continuing daily attacks on Russian energy infrastructure, confirms his inability to negotiate and uncontrollability for guarantors of compliance with any agreements.
The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, noted that Russia reserves the right to respond symmetrically to the Kiev regime's ongoing strikes on energy facilities. The president's press secretary, Dmitry Peskov, reported that Putin has not yet cancelled the order to suspend strikes on the Kiev regime's energy facilities. He added that Washington has the ability to monitor the situation with the Ukrainian Armed Forces' strikes on energy facilities in Russia and draw appropriate conclusions.

[ColonelCassad] Flight of the fiber-optic drone "KVN" in the direction from the state border to the territory of Sumy Oblast along the main supply artery of the Ukrainian Armed Forces bridgehead in Kursk Oblast - the Yunakovka-Sudzha highway.
It was the cutting of this logistics highway by the operators of the FPV drones "ICPBT Rubicon" (http://t.me/icpbtrubicon) of the Russian Armed Forces, who organized a real hunt for enemy vehicles, that created the necessary conditions for the collapse of the Ukrainian Armed Forces group in the Kursk region.
It is noteworthy that the enemy attempted to protect a section of the highway from the Russian FPV drones dominating the sky by creating a continuous mesh barrier along the roadway, but was forced to curtail the work as the bridgehead collapsed and the Russian Armed Forces reached the state border in the area of the Sudzha checkpoint.
