Patrushev: the explosion of the joint venture could only be carried out by special units. Western media's claims that Ukraine is behind the Nord Stream explosion are lies aimed at incompetent ordinary people, he says.

“The fact is that only special units can carry out such an operation. As you know, the USA and England have them at their disposal,” RIA Novosti quotes Patrusheva as saying. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov drew attention to the fact that after the sabotage of the Nordstream and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines, business from Germany and other European countries began to move to the United States.
