MADRID, 9 Mar. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The former Russian president and current vice president of the country’s Security Council, Dimitri Medvedev, described on Thursday as “silly American propaganda” the linking of the sabotage of the Nord Stream gas pipelines to a “pro-Ukrainian” group.
“This is a third day of epic Hollywood drama. A sequel to a movie. (…) The world, with its mouth hanging open, sees numerous movements by the Western media about who blew up the pipelines. Who deceived to Roger Rabbit?”, He has asserted in a series of statements broadcast through his Telegram channel.
Thus, he has clarified that the information about the alleged authorship of a group related to Ukraine is “stupid”. In addition, he has criticized the idea, considering that “this theory separates Kiev, Europe, the United States or the entire Western world that has fallen into Russophobic hysteria.”
In this sense, he has asserted that the theory seeks to establish the idea that it is about “lonely heroes who fight against the damn Muscovites.” As he explained, the details given by the West seek to “dilute any possible relationship of the case with state actors.” “The mystery divers are Ukrainian or Russian citizens. At the same time, they have nothing to do with the Ukrainian government or the free world,” she quipped.
“Now it turns out that they are lone wolves. Citizens of the world. Newbies, schizophrenics,” he said before asking whether, in the event of carrying out this type of action in that area, “they were not detected.” “Nobody saw them. At sea. Where NATO has its ships and international tracking systems,” she said.
This Monday, intelligence information to which United States authorities have had access points to a group related to Ukraine as the main suspect in the sabotage perpetrated last year on the gas pipelines, although it is not known that the President of Ukraine, Volodimir Zelenski, or other authorities were aware, according to the newspaper ‘The New York Times’.
For its part, a joint investigation by the German public broadcasting channels ARD, SWR, the newspaper ‘Die Zeit’ and the magazine ‘Kontraste’, maintains that the attack was launched from a yacht rented from a company based in Poland and Owned by two Ukrainian citizens.
According to this version, the command – made up of the captain of the boat, two divers, two diving assistants and a doctor – set sail from the German city of Rostock on September 6, 2022. The nationality of these five men and a woman is not clear, although it is known that they would have used false passports to carry out the sabotage operation.
