Ukraine shared details about shelling with US after Russia’s "agreement" to energy truce, - Stefanishyna
The US State Department has been provided with information about all shelling incidents that have occurred since Russia's ‘agreement’ to an energy truce.
This was stated by Ukraine’s Ambassador to the United States Olha Stefanishyna, according to Censor.NET, citing Suspilne.
What is known?
"Today (3 February), the embassy sent the State Department detailed info on all the shelling that's happened since the so-called ’agreeement’ on a truce by Russia. Really detailed info was sent today based on the results of the overnight shelling," the diplomat said.
The information was prepared in cooperation with the Armed Forces and the Ministry of Energy.
Stefanishyna is convinced that this data will influence the negotiations, as it undermines Russia's position. The ambassador hopes that the American side will choose an approach of "less illusions, more pressure."
