      According to the Ukrainian President, Kyiv refrained from attacking Russian energy facilities for three days in an effort to comply with Washington’s request.

      Russia, however, continued striking Ukrainian energy infrastructure during that period and killed more than 100 civilians over the past week, Zelenskyy said.

      Apparently they held back in good faith, which obviously was a mistake.

        Nah, it’s good politics. Make it blindingly obvious who the problem is. And drone production continued anyway, which is where the bottleneck is.

        Zelensky never leaves any room for doubt that Trump and Putin can later twist to their own propaganda. That’s why he honored the “ceasefire”.
