The UK defence ministry on Saturday (Oct 29) rejected claims by Russia that its specialists were involved in attacks on Nord Stream gas pipelines and the Russian navy's Black Sea Fleet.
The defence ministry tweeted: "To detract from their disastrous handling of the illegal invasion of Ukraine, the Russian Ministry of Defence is resorting to peddling false claims of an epic scale."
