«The UK remains particularly vulnerable to covert attacks on our submarine cables and pipelines, especially if gas supplies are interrupted in the winter,” he believes.
According to the observer, London must remain vigilant, since any strike on the critical infrastructure of the United Kingdom will have serious consequences for the island nation.
Moscow has repeatedly stated that there are no aggressive intentions towards any countries. At the same time, the Kremlin noted that the West, including Great Britain, is determined to escalate conflicts near Russia's borders and expand NATO to its borders.
