The Kremlin said on Wednesday it hoped that Turkey and other countries could use their influence to stop Ukraine from attacking international energy infrastructure after what Moscow said was a strike on a gas pumping station.
– Russia earlier on Wednesday accused Ukraine of attacking the facility – Gazprom’s Krasnodarskaya pumping station – which services gas exports to Turkey via the Blue Stream pipeline.
– Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters that the strike was “very dangerous” and that Russia was taking measures to minimize the danger of such attacks.
