A number of saboteurs were detained while attempting to blow up the “Turkish current” pipes in Russia, according to Dmitry Peskov, the presidential spokesman for Russia.
According to “Interfax News,” the Russian official said today, Thursday, in a statement that three saboteurs who wanted to blow up tubes were captured on Russian land.
Additionally, he declared that his nation would step up security measures for the pipelines that provide Russian gas to Turkey.
This occurred when the Turkish Stream project, which will bring Russian gas to Europe, finished its first year of operation without experiencing any supply disruptions.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey and Vladimir Putin of Russia attended the project’s opening on January 8.
The project to extend two pipelines with a 15-mile capacity is referred to as the “Turkish torrent.”
75 billion cubic metres of gas every year for each of them, travelling over the Black Sea from Russia to Turkey, so that the first pipeline supplies Turkey and the second, European nations.
It is significant that last month’s sabotage of the Baltic Sea pipelines Nord Stream 1 and Word Stream 2 resulted in a four-location gas leak.
In the Baltic Sea, between southern Sweden and Poland, near the Danish island of Bornholm, the first leaks in international seas were discovered. This area has long been regarded as one of the most meticulously observed water regions in the entire world.
Since several months, “Nord Stream” has become the focal point of geopolitical tensions between the West and Moscow, particularly since it was cut off from European gas supplies in reaction to Western sanctions against it as a result of the Russian-Ukrainian war.
The fact that both lines still carry gas, even if the tubes they are connected to are temporarily out of operation, has many government officials, environmentalists, and climate experts around the world worried.
Russia is arresting “sabstans” who attempt to blow up pipes.
