0:51Now PlayingA top adviser to US President Donald Trump denied Russia broke an agreement not to attack Ukrainian energy infrastructure, and hailed the pact as a breakthrough that could end Moscow’s global isolation and revive energy projects such as the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.
US special envoy Steve Witkoff indicated Wednesday a series of Russian drone strikes on energy and transportation targets that occurred shortly after Trump’s call with Vladimir Putin were set in motion before the Russian leader had a chance to direct Kremlin forces to stand down — though bombardments continued for hours afterward.
“President Putin issued an order within 10 minutes of his call with the president directing Russian forces not to be attacking any Ukrainian energy infrastructure. And any attacks that happened last night would have happened before that order was given,” Witkoff said in an interview on Bloomberg Television. “I tend to believe that President Putin is operating in good faith.”
