He said, these attacks cannot be accidental, the Russians know exactly what they are doing. They know that these are energy facilities that must be protected from attacks under the promise made by Russia to the American side. Every Russian promise is broken with missiles or drones, bombs or artillery. Diplomacy means nothing to them. President Zelenskyy said a ceasefire could have already happened, but Russian President Putin has rejected that. Meanwhile, from 23 to 25 March, the United States held expert-level discussions with delegations from Russia and Ukraine in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. These bilateral meetings came after high-level discussions held by US President Donald Trump with Russian President Putin and Ukrainian President Zelenskyy. The talks primarily focused on security in the Black Sea, safety of commercial maritime activity, energy infrastructure protection, and comprehensive diplomatic efforts to promote lasting peace.
