MOSCOW (Reuters) - The Kremlin said on Monday that a Russian moratorium on striking energy infrastructure in Ukraine remained in place despite reports of continued Ukrainian attacks on Russian energy infrastructure targets.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters that Russia was monitoring the situation and that the United States was able to do the same and come to its own conclusions.

Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed in a call with his U.S. counterpart Donald Trump on Tuesday last week to observe a 30-day ceasefire on Ukrainian energy targets.

"So far, there have been no other orders from the president," Peskov said when asked if Russia intended to maintain its moratorium or not.

"Our armed forces are following all instructions of the supreme commander-in-chief, but of course we are monitoring the situation very closely. Our American interlocutors are also able to monitor the situation and draw the appropriate conclusions."

Kyiv, which accused Russia of flouting its moratorium almost immediately, said it would need to sign a formal document to suspend its own attacks, something which has not happened.

Firefighters toiled on Monday for a fifth day to try to put out a fire at an oil depot in Russia's southern Krasnodar region, ignited last week by a drone attack that the authorities blamed on Ukraine, the regional administration said.
