The Russian Defense Ministry reported the information.

Russia accused Ukraine of intending to halt Russian gas supplies to Europe and of allegedly attempting to attack the Russkaya station in the Kuban region, which provides gas for the TurkStream pipeline, using nine UAVs.

It was noted that all drones were reportedly shot down, with no casualties or destruction. However, according to the Russian Defense Ministry, the debris from a Ukrainian UAV caused “minor damage” to the building and equipment of the compressor station.

Later, the Russian Defense Ministry stated that the station continues to supply gas to the TurkStream pipeline in normal operation.

The state-run propaganda agency TASS reported that Hungary receives most of its gas through the TurkStream pipeline and its branches via Bulgaria and Serbia under long-term contracts with Gazprom.

Hungarian Foreign Ministry's response

According to Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó, the TurkStream pipeline is essential for supplying gas to Hungary and Central Europe.

“We expect the safety and operability of this transport route to be respected by everyone. Energy supply security is a matter of sovereignty, so any actions threatening the safety of our energy supply must be considered an attack on sovereignty,” Szijjártó emphasized.

  • On the night of Monday, January 13, the Russians reported a UAV attack, claiming that air defense systems were activated in three regions, including the Voronezh region.
