MOSCOW, March 21. /TASS/. Kiev's statements that Russia allegedly shelled the Sudzha gas metering station by itself are absolutely absurd and once again show how much one can trust the Kiev regime, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
"You saw Sudzha today, we all did, all these gas pipes burning in this station. And at the same time we hear a statement from Kiev that the Russians allegedly shelled it themselves. Well, it's an absurd statement. But it shows once again how much we can believe and trust the Kiev regime," the spokesman told VGTRK reporter Pavel Zarubin.
Kiev expressed its desire for a ceasefire during negotiations with Washington. After talks with his US counterpart Donald Trump, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered a halt to attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure. Hours later, however, the Kiev regime attacked Russian energy facilities in the Krasnodar Region and, in the early hours of Friday morning, blew up the Sudzha gas metering station through which Russian gas was pumped to Europe.
