The secretary of Russia's National Security Council on Monday accused the United States and the United Kingdom of sowing deception by blaming a pro-Ukrainian group for carrying out the Nord Stream pipeline explosions last fall, describing the new allegations as an attempt by the West to “cover up” those truly responsible for the blasts.
Patrushev noted that, unlike the U.S. and the U.K., the group in question may not have had the capability to blow up the two natural gas pipelines linking Russia to Europe. Both the U.S. and Britain have denied their involvement in the explosions.
The intelligence reviewed suggested that the group opposed Putin, but it did not specify members of the group or say who had directed or paid for the operation. The New York Times's report was bolstered by German broadcast outlets and the print publication Die Zeit, which said the crew was believed to have rented a yacht from a Poland-based company to transport the explosives and place them at the crime scenes.
