Loading ...Russia Blames Ukraine For Ammonia Pipeline Sabotage, Civilians Injured
A Wednesday statement by the Russian Defense Ministry said “A Ukrainian sabotage and reconnaissance group blew up the Tolyatti-Odesa ammonia pipeline” outside the village of Masyutovka in the northeastern Kharkiv region of Ukraine.
Moscow has accused Ukraine of blowing up the Tolyatti-Odesa pipeline in a new act of “sabotage” targeting vital Russian infrastructure. It is the longest ammonia pipeline in the world, at some 2,500km, and Russia utilizes it to export the industrial chemical, which is a core component of fertilizer, among other products.
“As a result of this terrorist act, there are victims among the civilian population. They received the necessary medical care,” the MoD said.
Russia always has a legal purpose with regard to statements about Ukrainian and NATO acts. When the SMO is concluded charges will be made in international courts, and before international bodies. Remember, the US no longer has the power to coerce countries and shape events as it once did. These charges, once proved, will not go unpunished.
