MOSCOW, Dec 1 – The Kremlin stated on Monday that Ukraine's recent weekend attack on the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) infrastructure was shocking due to its importance and global involvement.

The CPC, which includes Russian, Kazakh, and U.S. investors, reported on Saturday that a drone attack from Ukraine had damaged one of the three mooring points at its Novorossiysk terminal in Russia, leading to a suspension of operations.

During a call with reporters, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov labeled the Ukrainian attack as “outrageous.” He also condemned Ukrainian sea drone strikes on oil tankers in the Black Sea, claiming these actions threaten Turkey's interests and those of the ships' owners.

Chevron, a major U.S. oil company and a shareholder in the CPC, mentioned on Sunday that the loading of crude oil from its Tengizchevroil venture is still ongoing at the Russian port of Novorossiysk.
