\"Russia<\/p>\n

Russia’s Defense Ministry claimed on March 19 that its forces downed seven Russian drones sent to attack Ukrainian energy facilities after Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered a temporary pause on such strikes.<\/p>\n

In turn, Ukraine said<\/a> that Moscow had launched as many as 145 attack and decoy drones, as well as six missiles, against Ukraine, of which 72 were shot down and 56 disappeared from radars. <\/p>\n

President Volodymyr Zelensky said<\/a> that the drones targeted energy facilities, hospitals, and civilian infrastructure. Outages were reported in the Donetsk Oblast city of Sloviansk.<\/p>\n

Putin publicly agreed<\/a> to a 30-day halt on attacks against energy facilities following his phone call with U.S. President Donald Trump on March 18. The Kremlin nevertheless refused Washington’s proposal for a full temporary ceasefire as it insisted on a complete halt<\/a> of military support flowing to Ukraine.<\/p>\n

“Putin\u2019s words are very different from reality,” Zelensky said during a press conference with Finnish President Alexander Stubb, urging continued military support for Ukraine.<\/p>\n

According to the Russian Defense Ministry, seven drones were in the air and sent to attack Ukrainian energy facilities in Mykolaiv Oblast. Six were allegedly downed by a Pantsir air defense system and one by a Russian fighter jet.<\/p>\n

\nThe ministry also accused Ukraine of launching three drones against a Russian energy facility in Krasnodar Krai<\/a>, resulting in a fire. Moscow called the attack a “provocation” aimed at disrupting Trump’s peace efforts.<\/p>\n

The Ukrainian military has not commented on the reported attack in Krasnodar Krai.<\/p>\n

The Kyiv Independent could not verify the claims.<\/p>\n
