Putin describes version of blowing up Nord Streams by certain Ukrainian activists as complete nonsense

MOSCOW. March 14 (Interfax) - The version of blowing up the Nord Stream gas pipelines by Ukrainian activists not affiliated with the state is "complete nonsense," Russian President Vladimir Putin said with confidence.

"I am sure that this is complete nonsense," he said in an interview with the Rossiya 1 television channel, commenting on the relevant publications in the Western media.

"An explosion of this kind, of this power, at this depth could only be perpetrated by specialists, moreover, those supported by the full might of the state, which has certain technologies," Putin said.
