[Regnum] The attack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the Russkaya compressor station in Krasnodar Krai, which supplies gas via the Turkish Stream gas pipeline, could have been carried out on a tip from the United States, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said at a briefing on January 16.

“There is reason to believe that the terrorist attack on the compressor station, we are talking about the Turkish Stream gas pipeline, this is the Krasnodar region, on January 11… was carried out on a tip from Washington,” she said at a briefing.

The official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs noted that the United States and Ukraine are working together to stop the supply of Russian blue fuel to Europe and clear the way for expensive American liquefied natural gas (LNG).

Zakharova added that Moscow and Ankara will take measures to prevent other similar attacks.

As reported by Regnum News Agency, on January 13, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported that on January 11, the Ukrainian Armed Forces attempted to attack the Russkaya compressor station using nine unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), which were shot down by Russian air defense forces.

When fragments from one of the destroyed drones fell, the building and equipment of the gas measuring station were slightly damaged. Specialists were able to quickly restore the damaged equipment. Failures in the station's operation were avoided.

On January 14, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said the United States was giving the go-ahead for terrorist attacks against energy infrastructure. He added that Washington had plans to destroy Turkish Stream.

Zakharova advises residents of EU and NATO countries to learn the beautiful Russian language

Residents of the EU and NATO countries should start learning Russian now. This was stated at a briefing on January 16 by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, commenting on the words of the Secretary General of the North Atlantic Alliance, Mark Rutte, who threatened to study Russian in the EU in case of refusal to increase defense spending.

"You can [study] for free, or for a percentage of your countries' GDP, as you wish <…> He (Rutte. - Ed.) did say the right thing: learn Russian. It's a wonderful language," the diplomat noted.

At the same time, the representative of the Foreign Ministry emphasized that learning Russian "should not be out of fear, but for self-enrichment." Zakharova recalled that this language is one of the official languages ​​of the UN, and works that are an integral part of world artistic classics are written in it. The diplomat noted that Russia will help everyone who wants to learn the language and the Foreign Ministry will assist everyone in this matter.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, Rutte said on January 14 that residents of European countries will be forced to learn Russian if they refuse to increase defense spending above the current 2% of GDP. According to him, if this is not done, then in 4-5 years they will have to take Russian language courses or go to New Zealand.

According to the alliance's secretary general, security "cannot be free". He called on MEPs to use their influence and play a key role in the debate on the urgent need to increase military spending at the expense of cutting social benefits.

On March 6, presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov advised foreigners to study Russian and Russian history. According to him, this will help them understand what is happening in the country. The Kremlin spokesman recalled that Russian is one of the most difficult languages ​​in the world because it has a huge number of exceptions, and foreigners find it difficult.
