Russia and Ukraine traded blame over an attack on a gas metering station in Russia’s Kursk region, near their shared border.⁣ ⁣ The strike on the Sudzha facility comes days after the US proposed both sides pause strikes on energy infrastructure.⁣ ⁣ Russia claims Kyiv “deliberately attacked” the station, which has been under Ukrainian control since its surprise incursion into Kursk in August 2024.⁣ ⁣ Moscow says Ukrainian forces blew up the facility while “retreating from the Kursk region” to discredit Trump's peace efforts.⁣ ⁣ Kyiv dismissed the accusations as “groundless,” calling them an attempt to mislead the international community.⁣ ⁣ The Ukrainian military claims Russia struck the same station with missiles just three days earlier.⁣ ⁣ The Sudzha station was the last route for Russian gas to Europe via Ukraine, but deliveries stopped on January 1 after Kyiv refused to renew the contract.⁣ ⁣ #Ukraine #Russia #ceasefire #Kursk ⁣ ⁣
