Russia’s defense ministry said on Saturday that British naval officials blew up Nord Stream gas pipelines last month, directly accusing a top member of NATO of sabotaging critical Russian infrastructure. However, Moscow gave no evidence to support their claim.
According to the information available, representatives of this unit of the British Navy were involved in the planning, deployment and execution of a terrorist attack in the Baltic Sea on September 26 this year, which blew up the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines,” it said. the Ministry.
West accused of explosions
The British Ministry of Defense declined to comment on the allegations, Reuters reports. Russia has so far blamed the West for last month’s explosions that ruptured the Russian-built Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 pipelines at the bottom of the Baltic Sea.
Main route for gas supply to Europe
However, so far Russia has not provided concrete information on who is actually responsible for the damage to the pipelines. The pipelines used to be the main routes for Russian gas supplies to Europe. The Kremlin has repeatedly said the claims that Russia is responsible for the damage are “stupid,” and Russian officials have attributed a motive to Washington for wanting to sell more liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Europe. The United States has denied any involvement.
Also responsible for drone attacks
Moscow also blamed London for the drone strikes on the Black Sea port of Sevastopol on Saturday. According to pro-Russian authorities, the “heaviest drone strikes” since the start of the conflict in Ukraine have been carried out by “drones and remote-controlled surface vehicles in the waters of Sevastopol Bay”.
According to the Russian Defense Ministry, the ‘act of terror’ was carried out by British ‘specialists’ stationed in Ochakiv, in the Ukrainian region of Mykolayiv. These British units are also responsible for training Ukrainian special forces for naval operations.
