Russia has been accused of a “false flag attack” by deliberately blowing up the Sudzha gas metering station in Kursk to blame it on Kyiv.
The gas station supplies exports gas to Europe and Russian media has accused Ukrainian forces as part of a “discrediting campaign against Ukraine.”
The Ukrainian General Staff said in a statement the accusations coming out of Russia is “baseless.”
It adds, “The mentioned station was repeatedly shelled by the Russians themselves.”
