The TurkStream pipeline, a critical route for Russian gas exports to Turkey and Europe, has become a focal point in the growing geopolitical tensions between Russia and the West.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has accused the United States of seeking to undermine the European Union’s energy stability by interfering with key energy infrastructure. These were said during an annual press conference in Moscow, Russia, on January 14.
"I'm very sure that the United States does not need any competitor in any area. Starting with the energy sector, where they are unhesitatingly authorising terrorist measures to destroy the foundation of the European Union's energy prosperity, they also are inciting their Ukrainian clients to disrupt the Turkish Stream, right after the Nord Stream pipelines," Lavrov said, emphasizing his claim that the US is intentionally targeting Russian energy exports.
Russia also reported that it had destroyed nine Ukrainian drones targeting TurkStream infrastructure, calling the attack an "act of energy terrorism." This follows a pattern of escalating tensions between Russia and Ukraine, with energy infrastructure increasingly becoming a battleground in their ongoing conflict.
Lavrov’s remarks highlight the broader geopolitical struggle over energy resources, as Russia accuses the US and its allies of trying to destabilize both Russia and Europe through attacks on vital energy networks.
