Russia does not know who was behind the blasts that damaged the Nord Stream pipelines, one of President Putin’s leading allies said as he mocked media reports that said a pro-Ukrainian group was responsible.
“We still do not know for certain who exactly was the author and the perpetrator of the Nord Stream explosions,” Nikolai Patrushev, the head of Russia’s national security council, said.
Senior officials in Moscow have accused Britain and the United States of being behind the damage to the Kremlin funded pipelines. Last year Putin has blamed “Anglo-Saxon” powers.
