MOSCOW —
Russia’s army on Saturday accused the UK of being “involved” in explosions on
the Nord Stream gas pipelines, alleging the same British military specialists
helped Ukraine plan a drone attack on Moscow’s Black Sea Fleet.

Russia considers
the UK one of the countries most unfriendly to Moscow, with relations sinking
to historic lows since the Kremlin sent troops to Ukraine.
“Representatives
of this unit of the British Navy took part in the planning, provision and
implementation of a terrorist attack in the Baltic Sea on September 26 that
blew up the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines,” Russia’s defense
ministry said in a statement.
London dismissed
the claims, with its defense ministry saying this “invented story says more
about arguments going on inside the
Russian government than it does about the
West”.
Russia has said
Western countries have not allowed it to take part in international
investigations of the explosions.
Instead, it has
for weeks hinted that its security services have a different version of what
caused the September explosions, while some Western countries have called it
sabotage and accused Russia.
