A top aide to President Putin has claimed the Nord Stream pipeline sabotage could not have been carried out without Western special forces. Nikolay Patrushev singled out Britain’s elite Special Boat Service, saying Ukraine lacked the skills for such an operation. Russia has long dismissed German prosecutors’ findings that blamed Ukrainian nationals, accusing the West of hiding the truth. The blasts in 2022 destroyed critical pipelines linking Russia to Germany, shaking global energy markets. #NordStream #Russia #UK #NATO #EnergyCrisis #PipelineAttack #Putin #Germany #Ukraine #Geopolitics
