Russia on Saturday claimed that Ukraine attempted to attack a station supplying natural gas to the TurkStream pipeline using drones during Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's visit to the U.S.

Three drones attempted to attack the compressor station in the Krasnodar region on Friday night while Zelenskyy was in the U.S., aRussian Defense Ministry statement said.

It added that the attack aimed to halt natural gas shipments to Europe.

Underlining that all drones were shot down by air defense systems, the ministry said no damage was reported at the station.

It added that natural gas shipments to TurkStream from the compressor station continued as usual.

On Jan. 13, theRussian Defense Ministry announced that Ukraine had attempted to attack the same station with nine drones.
