🇬🇧🇷🇺⚡- The Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, SVR, says that British intelligence are allegedly planning high-profile sabotages against ships transporting Russian oil, aiming to create an international scandal and tighten sanctions pressure.

SVR claims London will cause an 'accident' involving a tanker in one of the sea straits or setting fire to a ship during loading at a port of a Russia-friendly state. It is assumed that such actions would create a precedent for NATO intervention and restrictions on maritime trade of Russian energy resources. SVR believes Ukrainian operatives will be used for the operations.
