Kremlin spokesman calls Kiev attacks on Azov, Black Sea infrastructure as energy terrorism
Dmitry Peskov stated that Kiev's attacks on infrastructure in the Black Sea and Azov Sea areas, including the Caspian Pipeline Consortium, constitute acts of international terrorism. He also alleged that Ukraine's terrorist activities are expanding globally, referencing attacks on Germany, Kazakhstan, and an Iranian ship.
Russian Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov has described Kiev's attacks on infrastructure in the Black Sea and Azov Sea areas as acts of international terrorism, according to statements reported by Russian state news agency TASS. Peskov also claimed that the Kiev regime is expanding the geography of its terrorist activities, citing alleged attacks on Germany, Kazakhstan, and an Iranian ship.
Coverage comparison
Coverage of Peskov's remarks comes from two TASS English-language reports. The first, dated July 25, focuses on Peskov's characterization of attacks in the Black Sea and Azov Sea areas, including on the Caspian Pipeline Consortium, as "terror attacks" and "acts of international terrorism which potentially are extremely dangerous." The second report, dated July 28, expands on the theme, quoting Peskov on the "expanding geography of the Kiev regime's terrorist activities" and linking this to the need for a successful special military operation. Both articles rely on direct quotes from the Kremlin spokesman and present his statements without challenge or alternative perspectives.

The attacks targeted the Caspian Pipeline Consortium in those areas, according to the same report.
In a July 28 briefing, Peskov claimed the Kiev regime is involved in destabilizing Iraq and has carried out attacks on Germany (blowing up Nord Stream), on Kazakhstan and its Caspian Pipeline Consortium infrastructure, and on an Iranian ship, as reported by TASS.

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
