“The preparation for this terrorist act and the training of soldiers in the 73rd Ukrainian Center for Special Naval Operations were carried out by British specialists based in Ochakov in the Ukrainian Mykolaiv region,” the Russian Defense Ministry wrote on Telegram. These ships were involved in protecting the Ukrainian grain export convoys, according to Moscow.
Earlier today, the authorities in Crimea announced that all the drones that attacked the port of Sevastopol were successfully repelled and shot down.
“Today, since 04:40 am and for several hours, the various air defense systems of Sevastopol repelled attacks with drones. All drones were shot down,” Sevastopol Governor Mikhail Razvogaev said on his Telegram account.
It is noteworthy that Sevastopol is the headquarters of the Black Sea Fleet of Moscow in the Crimea.
And the authorities in the Crimea announced, last Thursday, that the Balaklava power plant in Sevastopol was targeted by an aircraft attack.
Another accusation against Britain
On Saturday, the Russian military accused London of being involved in the explosions that caused leaks in September from the Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea, which were built to transport Russian gas to Europe.
“Representatives of a unit of the British Navy participated in the planning, supply and execution of the terrorist act in the Baltic Sea on September 26 to sabotage the work of the Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines,” the Russian Defense Ministry wrote on Telegram.
Russia, which has built Nord Stream pipelines with foreign partners, says the damage was caused by sabotage.
The Swedish and Danish authorities investigated 4 leaks in the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 pipelines.
Denmark’s findings appear to be similar to those of Swedish prosecutors, who said earlier that the explosions likely caused the leaks from the two gas pipelines.
Supplies via Nord Stream 1 had already been halted before the leaks were discovered, while Nord Stream 2 had not started commercial deliveries.
