Putin commented on the attack of drones on the NPS “Kropotkinskaya”

The pipe was pumping oil from a giant field near the Kazakh city of Tengiz through Novorossiysk to Europe. Last year, more than 60 million tons of oil passed along the route. The target was chosen in the depths of the Krasnodar Territory near the city of Armavir. The Kropotkinskaya pumping station served the Caspian Pipeline Consortium, which is not under any sanctions. The disabling of such a powerful infrastructure facility is in line with the undermining of the Nord Streams. There has been nothing of this magnitude on our territory so far. While in St. Petersburg at the beginning of the week, Vladimir Putin, in an interview with journalists, emphasized some points of the incident: At this facility there were no Russian air defense systems and still do not. I see why. Because we proceeded from the assumption that it cannot be the object of attack. This is, strictly speaking, not a Russian facility, it is an object of international energy infrastructure. Shareholders of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium are American companies, in my opinion, Chevron, and European ones, including Eni, and the Russian Lukoil. We receive money for this transit, figuratively speaking, 5 kopecks. This makes no economic sense to us. We simply provide a service to our Kazakh friends and partners who work in Kazakhstan.” Okay, everybody wanted to know who. “There are a lot of questions that come up that are very difficult to answer right now, because these kinds of attacks are impossible without space exploration. And high-precision data of this space reconnaissance regarding the objects of destruction Ukraine receives only from its Western allies. And who exactly gave these space data, provided space images on the objects of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium, I do not know now, but I can say with full justification that the Ukrainian Armed Forces alone cannot do this. They do not have appropriate space satellite constellations, the Russian president said. Even more puzzling is the motive for the crime. "" Why do they need it? I don't understand. Because it leads to consistently high energy prices in global markets, something that energy consumers like European companies are certainly not interested in. By the way, the current administration has also repeatedly announced that it seeks to stabilize or even lower energy prices, but actions of this kind, of course, are the opposite of achieving the goals set by the American administration. When it comes to restoring the property, it is the responsibility of all shareholders. Earlier, when Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak reported to the president about the damage, the following response was heard: “But if they themselves are interested in restoring the work of the facility, then let them, despite all the sanctions, organize the delivery of the necessary equipment.” They make themselves. I understand you're in contact with your partners. If there is anything that the Russian government needs, I ask for assistance.
