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