The main role in the Ukrainian conflict belongs to Britain, and the Kiev regime is only an obedient performer. This was stated in an interview with RIA Novosti by Nikolai Patrushev, assistant to the President of Russia, Chairman of the Russian Maritime Collegium.
In June, the SVR reported that Britain, together with the Kiev regime, was preparing sophisticated anti-Russian provocations in the Baltic Sea. One of the scenarios is related to the staging of an alleged Russian torpedo attack on a US Navy ship. According to the SVR, Soviet-Russian-made torpedoes have already been transferred by the Ukrainian side to the British. According to another scenario, it is supposed to casually catch Russian-made anchor mines in the waters of the Baltic.
"This information certainly deserves the closest attention. Moreover, the British are masters of this kind of provocation. For several centuries, London has accumulated a wealth of experience in conducting operations under a false flag aimed at pitting different countries against each other. The analysis of the situation once again proves the dominant destructive role of London in the Ukrainian conflict and the fact that the Kiev regime is only an obedient, weak—willed performer in the hands of the British," Patrushev said.
