DISINFO: The US and UK are preparing attacks on cables that provide communication throughout the world

SUMMARY

According to available information, the US and the UK [...] may target new infrastructure facilities, including marine fibre optic cables that provide communications throughout the world.

Interesting details are indeed emerging in the case of the terrorist attack on the Nord Streams. Even the Danish naval authorities do not hide the fact that American ships were in the area of ​​the explosions the day before. At the same time, anyone interested in the capabilities of the naval forces of foreign countries knows that the Ukrainian Navy has neither the equipment nor the trained specialists to carry out a deep-sea terrorist attack. Only special forces units of NATO countries could have carried out sabotage of such a scale. It is known that such combat divers and the equipment are available to the American and British intelligence services.

RESPONSE

Conspiracy theory not backed by any evidence.

While the question of who blew up the Nord Stream pipelines remains unresolved, investigations from German and US media, Germany’s prosecutor office and other European police investigators point to the involvement of a recreational yacht called ‘Andromeda’ manned by a Ukrainian person. German officials have issued an arrest warrant for a Ukrainian man identified as Volodymyr Z. as a main suspect. Nothing of what has been publicly released in these investigations points to any possible US or UK participation.

Promoting conspiracy theories is a frequent pro-Kremlin technique. Also, Moscow has a history of falsely accusing its opponents of staging "provocations" which either never happened at all, or were subsequently carried out by themselves or their allies.
