Russia's Ministry of Defense reported on Wednesday that Ukraine forces attacked an energy facility in the village of Kavkazskaya in the Krasnodar region during the night, several hours after United States President Donald Trump talked with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, where the latter agreed that the peace talks should start with "an energy and infrastructure ceasefire."
According to the ministry, the Ukraine forces used drones to attack the Kropotkinskaya oil pumping station of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC), leaving the station damaged and out of service. "As a result of the crash of the Ukrainian UAV on the territory of the oil transshipment point, one oil tank was depressurized and a fire broke out over an area of 1,700 square meters. Firefighting crews are currently extinguishing the fire," the ministry said in the statement.
The ministry called the attack "yet another provocation" and claimed that it aimed to disrupt Trump's peace initiatives.
