Investing.com -- The chief of staff for the Ukrainian president, Andriy Yermak, dismissed Russian allegations on Friday that Ukraine had launched an attack on the Sudzha gas pumping and metering station. Yermak made a statement on Telegram, a social media platform, refuting the accusations and criticizing Russian attempts to portray themselves as adherents to the ceasefire.

"Russian attempts to deceive everyone and pretend that they are ’adhering to the ceasefire’ will not work, as will not the fake about the strikes on the gas station," Yermak stated.

The Sudzha gas station, located in Russia, is a critical infrastructure in the region. The allegations of an attack were made by Russian officials, but Yermak’s statement firmly denies these claims.

The statement from the Ukrainian official comes amid ongoing tensions between Ukraine and Russia. The two nations have been involved in a conflict since 2014, with intermittent ceasefires. The alleged attack on the gas station and the subsequent denial by Ukraine are the latest developments in this ongoing situation.
