Kremlin says bombardment of Ukraine's critical infrastructure is result of refusing to negotiate with Russia

This is reported by the Russian media.

He stated that Russia targets only those infrastructure facilities that “directly or indirectly relate to the military potential of Ukraine.”

Peskov also said that the lack of light and heat in many areas of Ukraine is caused by the Ukrainian government's refusal to negotiate with Russia.

“The reluctance of the Ukrainian side to solve the problem, to enter negotiations, moreover, the actions of the Ukrainian side regarding the rejection of the agreed meanings of the text and so on - these are all the consequences, and we must talk about this too,” Peskov said.
