As Ukraine accuses Moscow of fresh terror plots, Vladimir Putin has fired back with explosive counterclaims. Speaking in Moscow, the Russian president alleged that Western nations and Ukraine are eyeing sabotage of undersea gas pipelines like TurkStream and Blue Stream — even hinting at a potential “nuclear component.” He also blamed Ukrainian intelligence and “foreign curators” for a surge in drone and rocket attacks inside Russia. With accusations flying on both sides, fears of escalation are deepening.
