"I informed the Secretary General about the facts of Russia's violations of the energy truce, as well as its ongoing terror against the civilian population," he wrote.
Sybiha also emphasized the need to release OSCE staff members Maksym Petrov, Vadym Holda and Dmytro Shabanov, who have been illegally detained in Russia for more than three years.
On March 11, another round of talks between Ukraine and the United States took place in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Back then, Ukraine agreed to an immediate temporary ceasefire - in exchange, Washington decided to resume aid and intelligence sharing. Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that a 30-day ceasefire would work for the entire front line if Russia agreed to it.
Later, on March 18, Trump spoke with Putin. They discussed the 30-day truce proposed by the United States. Putin demanded that Ukraine stop mobilizing and rearming the Armed Forces during this time.
After the conversation, the parties reported that Putin allegedly supported the idea of Russia and Ukraine mutually refusing to strike energy infrastructure for 30 days.
The next day, March 19, Trump spoke with Zelenskyy. The US president shared with the Ukrainian leader the details of his conversation with Putin.
Zelenskyy said he was ready to support an end to strikes on energy and other civilian infrastructure.
Subsequently, the US agreed with Ukraine and Russia to ban strikes in the Black Sea. However, Russian officials said that an agreed ceasefire at sea in the Black Sea depends on the easing of sanctions. In addition, Russia is putting forward conditions that contradict the US statement.
Russia also continues massive attacks on Ukraine's civilian and energy infrastructure.
