Russia called Ukraine's attack on gas facilities "reckless"

On the 12th local time, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported that Ukraine had used drones to attack a compression station supplying gas to the "Turkish Stream" natural gas pipeline that day. Russia accused Ukraine of attempting to cut off Russia's gas supply to European consumers through the attack. The Russian Ministry of Defense stated that in the early hours of the 12th, Ukraine used fixed-wing drones to attack a natural gas compression station in the Krasnodar border region in southwestern Russia. The Russian air defense forces shot down 10 drones, and the facilities of the compression station were undamaged. Gazprom, the Russian natural gas industry company, confirmed the news and said that two compression stations supplying gas to the "Turkish Stream" and "Blue Stream" natural gas pipelines were attacked again, but all attacks were thwarted. Russia accused Ukraine of trying to cut off the supply of natural gas to European consumers through the attacks. Russian President's press secretary Peskov said on the same day that Ukraine's attack on the compression station was reckless. He also accused Ukraine and European governments of obstructing the peace process and described attempts to continue to pressure Russia as "simply absurd."
