Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said Ukraine’s attempt to attack the Russkaya Compressor Station, which plays a key role in ensuring the energy security of several countries, was “reckless.”
Speaking at a press briefing today, Peskov answered questions regarding current developments.
Responding to a question about the Ukrainian army’s overnight attack attempt on the Russkaya compressor station located in Russia’s Krasnodar Krai, which enables the land-based operation of the TurkStream, Peskov said:
“This is a land-based compressor station that ensures gas deliveries via the southern route. This is another attack on an international pipeline that provides energy security for Türkiye and many other countries. These are completely reckless actions by the Kyiv regime.”
