Moscow, November 30 (Xinhua) — The Russian Foreign Ministry strongly condemns Ukrainian attacks on tankers in the Black Sea and the infrastructure of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium. This was stated by Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova on Sunday. The ministry released the statement.
On November 28, off the coast of Turkey in the southern Black Sea, unmanned naval craft attacked and damaged the tankers Kairos and Virat, which were en route to the port of Novorossiysk under the Gambian flag. The following morning, the Virat was attacked again.
Early in the morning of November 29, in the seaport of Novorossiysk, as a result of an attack using unmanned boats of the same type, the VPU-2 single-point mooring unit, belonging to the international Caspian Pipeline Consortium, which unites fuel and energy companies from Russia, Kazakhstan, the United States, and several Western European countries, was disabled.
"Kyiv's security services effectively claimed their involvement in these attacks by publishing video evidence of the terrorist attacks in Ukrainian media. We strongly condemn these terrorist attacks and the actions of all parties involved in their planning and implementation," stated M. Zakharova.
She stressed that the civilian energy infrastructure that was attacked plays an important role in ensuring global energy security and has never been subject to international restrictions. –0–
