According to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, the United States has warned Ukraine to attack the TurkStream gas pipeline, following the destruction of the Nord Stream in 2022. Lavrov made the statement at a press conference on Tuesday.
The TurkStream pipeline, a major gas transportation route, connects Russia to Turkey, bypassing Ukraine and other European countries. The pipeline has been a contentious issue in the ongoing energy dispute between Russia and the European Union.
Lavrov’s statement comes as tensions between Russia and the West continue to escalate, with the Nord Stream pipeline’s destruction still under investigation. The incident has raised concerns over the security of critical energy infrastructure and the potential for further sabotage.
In a brief response to a question, Lavrov did not provide further details on the alleged US warning, leaving the audience to speculate about the nature of the warning and its implications for the global energy landscape.
