Russia has previously charged British special operators of assisting in the planning of the September sabotage attack on the Nord Stream gas pipelines beneath the Baltic. And now, Russia is set to present evidence of UK special forces being behind the attack on the Black Sea fleet off Crimea.
Moscow claims to have conclusive proof that the military of the United Kingdom participated in the massive drone attack on its Black Sea fleet last weekend off the coast of Crimea.
Russia claimed it intends to summon the British ambassador “in the near future” to submit “evidence” that the UK was behind the operation, which threatened to derail the UN-brokered Ukrainian grain export pact.
While Russia said on Wednesday that it is resuming the grain deal after obtaining “guarantees” from Ukraine and Turkey, it is still blaming London for deploying “specialists” to assist Kiev military in Saturday’s drone strike.
Officials from the Kremlin have yet to produce proof, but asserted the following on Wednesday:
“The U.K. ambassador will be summoned and will be given the appropriate materials,” Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said, adding the meeting would take place “in the near future.”
“The basic materials will be handed over as evidence to the British side and will also be shown to the general public,” she added.
Following a scorching Saturday speech in which she claimed the Ukrainian army executed the drone assault “under the leadership of British specialists in the city of Ochakiv” in southern Ukraine, Zakharova vowed the evidence would be exposed for all to see.
According to videos that surfaced of some of the attacks, The Guardian detailed the major drone operation, which likely destroyed a number of Russian Navy vessels:
Russia’s Black Sea flagship vessel, the Admiral Makarov, was damaged and possibly disabled during an audacious Ukrainian drone attack over the weekend on the Crimean port of Sevastopol, according to an examination of video footage.
Open-source investigators said the frigate was one of three Russian ships to have been hit on Saturday. A swarm of drones – some flying in the air, others skimming rapidly along the water – struck Russia’s navy at 4.20 am. Video from one of the sea drones shows the unmanned vehicle weaving between enemy boats.
Ukrainian officials said it was unclear if the Admiral Makarov was badly crippled, or had escaped with light damage. Unconfirmed reports said its hull was breached and radar systems smashed. Social media recorded loud explosions in the southern part of Sevastopol, in an area known as Riflemen’s Bay. A Russian navy school is located nearby.
It should be emphasized that Russia has charged British special operators of assisting in the planning of the September sabotage attack on the Nord Stream gas pipelines beneath the Baltic. The United States has dismissed these allegations as “false claims on an epic scale.”

Brits are doing USA’s dirty work. If they keep it up, well they are an easy target. It would be too bad if the Chunnel was disabled. What happens on the island when Britain’s supply lines are cut? They are in over their head. The hippocracy of supporting Ukrainian Nazis is not to be forgotten. Keep poking the Bear. O an the UK still has 300billion of Russias money. If you don’t pay it back and knock off the ankle biting London might become a hole. Of course as these actions continue Ukraine electric grid will be a Target. What happens when the whole of Ukraine is without electric for the winter. Russia is not the aggressor they are defending their land and people. If the West continues their unprovoked provocative belligerent activities Russia is well within their rights to do whatever it takes.
