UPDATE ON MARCH 25, 2025
After meeting in Riyadh Russia confirms that Moscow has agreed to ensure the safety of shipping in the Black Sea, the Kremlin said. Russia and the United States also agreed to develop measures to stop attacks on Russian and Ukrainian energy facilities for a 30-day period starting March 18, it added.
The Kremlin, however, says that the agreement with the United States will come into force after the lifting of sanctions on Russian agricultural exports and some related sectors and when there are clear guarantees that they will be implemented after Ukraine’s repeated violations of the preliminary truce agreement on the safety of energy infrastructure.

Black Sea grain initiative, guarantees, Ukrainian attacks: statements by Lavrov
Russian President Vladimir Putin and US leader Donald Trump are currently being briefed on the results of the Russia-US consultations in Saudi Arabia’s Riyadh. The “focus of their discussions was on ensuring safe navigation in the Black Sea.“
The Russian side favors the resumption of the Black Sea Grain Initiative, but Moscow needs very well-defined, verifiable, and functioning guarantees, given Kiev’s constant reversals and violation of agreements, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said in an interview with Channel One.
He recalled that Ukraine had targeted a gas metering station in Sudzha (read below), accusing Russia of the act, even though the energy supply of a number of European countries depends on it.
Russian negotiators reminded the US of the reasons behind the failure of the Black Sea initiative and stated that Moscow expects “there to be no ambiguity this time.”
Moscow will need “well-defined guarantees” in the event of the resumption of the Black Sea initiative, and they “can only be the result of an order from Washington” to Vladimir Zelensky and his team: “The Black Sea initiative was a key topic of discussion in Riyadh. Our position is simple: We cannot take this man at his word.”
Russian MFA: “Joint use of ZNPP by Russia, any other country unacceptable”
The joint use of the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) by Russia and any other country is unacceptable, the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
“Sharing the use of the ZNPP with any other country is also unacceptable. This is unprecedented in global practice. In particular, in such a case, it would be impossible to properly ensure nuclear safety and security, and resolve the issues of civil liability for nuclear damage,” the statement reads.
Moscow will never hand the ZNPP over to Ukraine or any other country, the ministry emphasized.
“The plant’s restoration as part of Russia’s nuclear energy industry is a reality and the international community can only accept it. It is impossible to hand the ZNPP or control of it over to Ukraine or any other country,” the document said.
Employees at the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant are Russian nationals and no one has the right to play with their lives, the Russian Foreign Ministry pointed out.
UPDATE ON MARCH 24, 2025
New Attack on Gas Stations
Over the past few days, Ukraine has assaulted Russia’s energy infrastructure. On March 22, Kiev carried out two drone strikes on the Valuika gas distribution station in the settlement of Shvedunovka in Russia’s borderline Belgorod Region.
A day later, on March 23, Russian air defenses repelled a Ukrainian drone attack on the Glebovskoye gas condensate field on Crimea’s Cape Tarkhankut Crimea. And early on March 24, the enemy tried to conduct a drone attack on the Kropotkinskaya oil pumping station, the Russian Defense Ministry said.
The Kiev regime carried out two drone strikes on the Valuika gas distribution station located in the settlement of Shvedunovka in Russia’s Belgorod Region between 5:00 a.m. and 8:45 a.m. Moscow time (2:00-6:45 a.m. GMT) on March 22, the Russian Defense Ministry reported. The attack damaged technological equipment.
According to the Defense Ministry, Russian air defenses repelled an attack involving four Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles on the Glebovskoye gas condensate field on Cape Tarkhankut in Crimea between 9:00 p.m. and 9:50 p.m. Moscow time (6:00-6:50 p.m. GMT) on March 23.
“NAZIS IN UKRAINE NURTURED BY EUROPEANS”. Russian Minister said, Here the Proofs…
Moscow had accepted the proposal of the American President Donald Trump for a 30-day truce, initially tying it to the cessation of mutual attacks by Russia and Ukraine on energy infrastructure.
Since then, the Kiev army led by the neo-Nazi regime of Volodymyr Zelensky has provocatively attacked even more massively precisely that type of installation. Therefore, the Russian government has communicated the interruption of any ceasefire agreement on the matter (read below).
Kremlin: “Russia, US have no plans of signing documents after talks in Riyadh”
Russian and US expert groups, which convened for a meeting in Saudi Arabia’s Riyadh
earlier in the day, do not plan to sign any documents in the wake of the talks, Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov said.
“No, no documents are planned,” he said in answer to a corresponding question from TASS.
Russian Presidential Aide Yury Ushakov said the main topic of the consultations is the resumption of the Black Sea grain initiative in accordance with an agreement between the Presidents of Russia and the United States, Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, reached during a telephone conversation.
Talks between the delegations of Russia and the United States, which are ongoing in the Saudi capital of Riyadh, will be over once the parties agree on a joint statement, a source in the Russian delegation told TASS.

Ukrainian sabotage of Sudzha gas metering station
«Kiev deliberately blew up the Sudzha gas metering station located a few hundred meters from the border in the Kursk Region just after midnight on March 21, the Russian Defense Ministry said» according to TASS Russian News Agency.
The Russian Defense Ministry called the blowing up of the gas metering station a “deliberate Ukrainian provocation” that should be seen as part of a general series of recent attacks on Russia’s energy infrastructure aimed at derailing US President Donald Trump’s peace initiatives.
Indeed, this is the second attack on an energy installation after Russian President Vladimir Putin accepted White House truce proposal, making it conditional in a preliminary phase on gas, oil and electricity production infrastructure.
On March, 18 the first targed wasthe oil depot in the city of Kropotkin, Krasnodar region (details below)
On March 21, at about 12:20 a.m. Moscow time (9:20 p.m. GMT on March 20), Kiev deliberately blew up the Sudzha gas metering station through which Russian gas is pumped to Europe, the ministry said.
The Ukrainian troops used the facility as a secure logistics point while the station was under their control.
According to Russian Telegram channels, the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) blew up a pipeline of the Progress gas pipeline, one of four branches that pass through this facility.
A dynamite explosion damaged a 30-meter section of the pipeline, causing a large fire. According to eyewitnesses, the bright flame was visible from hundreds of kilometers, including Kursk and the border areas of the Sumy region of Ukraine.
The Russian Investigative Committee promptly initiated a criminal case, classifying the actions as a terrorist act and emphasizing the targeted nature of the attack.
Kremlin slams Kiev’s accusations that Russia itself shelled Sudzha gas station as ‘absurd’
According to Russian sources, the explosion was possible because the territory of the station has been under the control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine since August 7, 2024. The facility, located just 500 meters from the state border, was used by Ukrainian troops as a logistics point that was considered relatively safe.
Kiev’s statements that Russia allegedly shelled the Sudzha gas metering station by itself are absolutely absurd and once again show how much one can trust the Kiev regime, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, as reported by TASS.
“You saw Sudzha today, we all did, all these gas pipes burning in this station. And at the same time we hear a statement from Kiev that the Russians allegedly shelled it themselves. Well, it’s an absurd statement. But it shows once again how much we can believe and trust the Kiev regime,” the spokesman told VGTRK reporter Pavel Zarubin.
Russian Foreign Ministry: Russia has the right to strike Ukrainian energy facilities in response to bombing
The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, accused Ukraine of violating preliminary agreements on the cessation of attacks on energy facilities, reached with the mediation of the United States and supported by Kiev.
She stated this on March 22, 2025, stressing that Moscow reserves the right to take “symmetric measures” in response to the actions of the Ukrainian side. T
he statement, published on the website of the Russian Foreign Ministry, is a response to a series of attacks that, according to the Russian department, undermine peace initiatives and threaten stability in the region.
According to Zakharova, Ukraine not only continued to bomb Russian energy infrastructure, but also began to sneakily attack the Nazi regime

Zelelsnky’s British-EU Gang against the Peace
The more hours pass, the more the position of the American president Donald Trump is becoming very complex in the international war scenarios.
On the one hand, he must try to keep faith with the promise of peace on Ukraine made to his voters and the Kremlin, on the other hand he cannot disappoint the Lords of War who supported his electoral campaign so that he could continue to guarantee enormous profits to the Weapons Lobby.
The Russian president has also shown his historic willingness to accept a thirty-day truce, conditioning it on various known conditions (stop arms supplies to Kiev and no Western troops in Ukraine) but also offering a trap guarantee: the immediate cessation of bombing on energy plants.
He did so knowing full well that it would be difficult for the puppet of the United Kingdom Volodymyr Zelensky, president of the NeoNazi regime of Ukraine but at the same time secret agent of the British intelligence MI 6, to resist the temptation to immediately violate any preliminary agreement between Trump and Putin.
And so it happened today!
The Ukrainian military has attacked an oil transfer facility in Russia’s Krasnodar Region that services an international pipeline operation partially owned by American investors, the Defense Ministry in Moscow announced on Wednesday.
Despite, as reported by RT, Russian military has said that it had to shoot down its own drones to fulfill President Vladimir Putin’s order to halt strikes on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. The president gave the order as a result of discussions with his US counterpart Donald Trump on Tuesday.
If Zelensky launched the attack on Russia’s energy facilities at a crucial moment for peace, it is because, well before the dramatic argument with the American president in the White House, he obtained assurances from NATO and the United Kingdom, where King Charles III is now the reference for the Rothschild New World Order, that he would continue to receive increasingly more powerful weapons, as we explained in the previous investigation into international intrigues.
London allowed itself to proceed alone by effectively soliciting the ReArms project approved by the European Commission because it knows full well that Trump has no way of breaking the double-edged bond with the arms corporations that supported his candidacy thanks to his lobbyist collaborators.
As he is demonstrating with the new, extremely dangerous challenge to Iran, the risk of nuclear degeneration in Palestine and in Persian Gulf.
Kremlin says Europe becomes ‘war party’
Europe has plunged into militarization and turned into a “war party” in stark contrast to Moscow and Washington’s commitment to a peaceful settlement, Russian Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
“We hear a lot of signals from Brussels every day. The main signals from Brussels and the European capitals now relate to the plans for militarization of Europe, which is clearly at odds with the mood of the presidents of Russia and the United States to seek ways out for a peaceful settlement process,” he told reporters.
“Europe has plunged into militarization and turned into a war party.”
Peskov: “Kiev strikes against Russian power installation are sabotage of agreements”
The Kremlin views Ukrainian army’s attacks against power installations in the Kuban region as sabotage of agreements, press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov said.
“Certainly,” Peskov said, responding to a question whether attacks against Russian power infrastructure are viewed as sabotage and an attempt to disrupt agreements reached between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump.
“Information has already been widely available about the command of the Russian President, the command of the supreme commander-in-chief of Russia [about termination of strikes against Ukrainian power facilities for the period of 30 days] at the moment of launching these attacks. The Kiev regime did nothing to cancel them. Therefore, such actions definitely run counter to these common efforts,” Peskov stressed.
Kiev attacks energy site in southern Russia after infrastructure ceasefire
Kiev attacked an energy facility in southern Russia by three unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) after a decision by President Vladimir Putin on an energy infrastructure ceasefire made at the proposal of US President Donald Trump, Russia’s Defense Ministry reported on Wednesday.
“On the night of March 19, several hours after the end of the Russia-US talks at the highest level and, in particular, a decision by the Russian president made at the proposal of the US president to temporarily cease strikes on energy infrastructure, the Kiev regime launched a deliberate attack by three fixed-wing UAVs on an energy infrastructure facility located at the Kavkazskaya station (the Krasnodar Region),” the ministry said in a statement.
The facility is used to transfer crude from rail-transported tanks to a pipeline operated by the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC), an international firm that counts US giants Chevron and Mobil among its partners.
The attack caused damage to an on-site oil reservoir and a fire, which is yet to be doused, the Defense Ministry reported.
