The official spokesperson for the Kremlin, Dmitry Peskov, stated on Friday that Kyiv must pay the price for the attacks it is carrying out in the Black Sea, confirming that it is practically paying it at the moment.

Peskov pointed out that Russia is responding in the Black Sea to the attacks carried out by the Kyiv regime, saying: "Ukraine must pay the price for that, and it is already paying it."

The official spokesperson for the Kremlin explained that Russia continues its special military operation, pointing out the importance of cutting off supplies of ammunition and other equipment directed to Ukrainian forces via the Black Sea.

Peskov told reporters: "We continue our special military operation. It is important for us to completely cut off supplies across the sea to Ukraine, including military equipment, ammunition, and fuel to meet the needs of the Ukrainian armed forces, which is currently happening and will continue in the coming period."

Russia has repeatedly rejected the idea of a limited truce in the Black Sea, as both sides have intensified their attacks on ships, ports, and power stations since July.

The Russian Ministry of Defense announced in a statement on Friday that the armed forces targeted a bridge in the capital Kyiv, designated for cars and trains, which crosses the Dnieper River and is used for logistical supply of military shipments for Ukrainian military formations in the Donbas region.

The Russian defense also announced that during the night, a cargo ship in the Black Sea was targeted, which was transporting military equipment to the port of Odessa for the benefit of Ukrainian forces.

Additionally, Russian forces targeted an industrial and production complex in the port of Ismail, which was used for sorting and distributing military shipments and fuel for the Ukrainian army, according to the Russian Ministry of Defense.
