DISINFO: Anglo-Saxons behind explosions of Crimea bridge and Nord Stream pipelines
SUMMARY
After the explosion of the Nord Stream pipelines and the act of terrorism against the Crimea bridge, it became clear that Washington was planning large-scale terrorist acts that would give Moscow a pretext for a nuclear strike. It is clear that the Anglo-Saxons are behind both events.
RESPONSE
The claim is disinformation, as details about the attack on the Crimea bridge were still very scarce when this story was released, only hours after it had taken place. The goal of this narrative is to denigrate Ukraine by portraying it as unable to achieve military success by itself. Russia has also been pushing for a long time the narrative that it is fighting not only Ukraine but also NATO and the West as a whole.
As for the leaks in the Nord Stream pipelines, Denmark, Sweden and Germany have started investigations to establish the cause of the leaks. Denmark and Sweden, in whose exclusive economic zone the leaks took place, are going to inspect the sites of the leaks after the gas stops coming out into the sea. This is the first step in determining what caused the leaks. Anything before that would be mere speculation and conspiracy theory.
