The Russian ambassador to Rome, Sergey Razov, refuted allegations that his nation was behind an attempt to sabotage Russian “Northern Stream” gas pipes in the Baltic Sea.
The envoy claimed that “Now these rumours come around that the Russians blew up their own gas pipeline” in an interview with the Italian television network “Rai 1.”
“”I understand that people may have various perceptions about Russians and Russia’s leaders as a result of anti-Russian propaganda, but I tell them that there are no idiots among us,” he continued.
Razov said in response to the European Union’s intentions to stop utilising Russian gas that he “does not understand what the problem with Russian gas is.”
He clarified, “We have been consistently sending gas to Europe and Italy without any issues for the past 50 years. We were prepared to keep up the supplies.
Later, however, Italy and its allies made the decision to stop relying on Russian gas. You get to decide; it’s not our call.
It is significant that on September 26, an act of sabotage caused gas to spill from the Russian “North Stream” and “North Stream 2” gas pipelines.
There are no fools among us, said the Russian envoy to Rome regarding the “Northern Stream” issue.
