Russian officials have confirmed that they will hand over to the British ambassador to Moscow, Deborah Bronnert, a dossier containing evidence they say proves London’s link to the attack on the Russian fleet in the Black Sea.
According to Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on Wednesday, Moscow has evidence proving the UK’s involvement in both the attack and the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipeline and, after handing it over to Bronnert, it will be shared publicly.
«There is no doubt that British intelligence services are involved in the terrorist attack on the Black Sea Fleet base in Sevastopol (…) and the Nord Stream sabotage,» said Zakharova, who guaranteed that these incidents «will not go without Russian reaction,» reports TASS.
Thus, the spokeswoman of the Russian diplomatic portfolio has detailed that, after bringing the information to Bronnert’s attention, the website of the Foreign Ministry and its profiles on social networks will echo the evidence available to Russia.
In the same vein, Zakharova has shown her suspicions regarding the reaction shown by London once the attack on the Black Sea fleet became known. «They tried to absolve themselves of responsibility for the terrorist attack, they said they didn’t even know anything about it. A very strange reaction,» he said.
Already on Tuesday the Kremlin accused the UK authorities of coordinating and perpetrating the September sabotage of the Nord Stream gas pipelines, as well as of being linked to an attack on the Russian fleet in the Black Sea, both extremes denied by the British government.
Moscow alluded to the attack in the Black Sea as an argument to temporarily suspend the agreement signed to export grain from Ukraine, one of the few rapprochements between the parties since Putin launched the military offensive on February 24 and which has been resumed this Wednesday.
