After the Russian Ministry of Defense held Britain last Saturday responsible for the attack on the Black Sea, as well as sabotage that affected the Nordstim Gas 1 and 2, Moscow renewed these accusations.
Today, Tuesday, the Russian presidential spokesperson Dmitry Peskov reiterated to the media that the United Kingdom was responsible for the explosions that damaged the gas pipeline in the Baltic Sea in September.
Additionally, he mentioned that “the Russian intelligence agencies have evidence indicating that the strike was overseen and directed by British military professionals. ”
He also emphasised the need for a response to these activities, adding, “We will think about the steps that will be taken.” “He also denounced what he described as” unacceptable silence of European capitals.
As a response, the Russian Defense Ministry said last week that “representatives of a British navy unit in planning and supply participated in the implementation of the terrorist act in the Baltic Sea on September 26 to sabotage the work of gas lines,” without presenting any concrete proof to the public.
However, in response to this claim at the time, the British Ministry of Defense emphasised that it is a shame on health given that it is an effort by Moscow to hide the failure of its military campaign in Ukraine.
It is noteworthy that four significant leaks in the pipeline Nord Stream 1 and 2 off the Danish island of Bornholm, two in Swedish economic seas, and two more in Danish waters were observed on the 26th of last month.
Later, the initial underwater audits, the sabotage theory, particularly that explosions came before the leak, were put forth.
Since the conflict began in Ukraine, it has been a line of pipelines that connect Russia to Germany at the center of geopolitical tensions after Moscow’s decision to cut gas supplies from Europe in response to the Western sanctions imposed on it, due to the military operation that it launched on the lands of the Western neighbor on February 24..
The Kremlin: Britain oversaw the attack on Nordstim.
