Kremlin files charges against UK over Nord Stream sabotage
Ingrid Schulze - 48 mins ago
The Kremlin on Tuesday accused British authorities of orchestrating and orchestrating the sabotage of the Nord Stream gas pipelines in September, in what Moscow saw as a "terrorist attack," which has yet to provide evidence of its suspicions about London.
Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov has insisted there is evidence linking Britain to both the sabotage of Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 and an attack on Russia's Black Sea fleet, which the British government denies.
According to the Interfax news agency, Peskow regretted the "unacceptable silence" of European governments and announced measures. Russian President Vladimir Putin's chief spokesman did not specify the extent of the retaliatory measures.
Moscow has cited the Black Sea attack as an argument for suspending a deal on grain exports from Ukraine, one of the few rapprochements between the two sides since Putin's military offensive on February 24.
