According to him, it has long been known that the West uses international terrorism as a tool to achieve its geopolitical goals.

“However, Western intelligence agencies themselves do not hesitate to use terrorist methods against their opponents,” Naryshkin told heads of security agencies and intelligence agencies from former Soviet republics on November 26.

According to the Russian intelligence chief, the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipeline is an example of such methods.

"The SVR has information about the direct involvement of professional saboteurs from the British and American special services in this terrorist attack," he said.

The Nord Stream pipeline is a joint project between Russian companies and other European countries aimed at supplying Moscow's cheap gas to the region, Mr. Naryshkin noted.

The Nord Stream pipeline was ruptured by explosions at the bottom of the Baltic Sea in September 2022.
