“[This] kind of attack involves, of course, provision of very high technology, so-called geospaced data, which only can be done by those who have it in possession. And this is London and Washington,” he said.
Washington has denied any involvement in the attack, but London hasn’t.
“We perfectly know”
Kelin went on to say, that Moscow “perfectly know how much London is involved, how deeply British forces are involved in working togehter with Ukraine.
