Britain is preparing sabotage against the Turkish Stream gas pipeline — Bortnikov

The British special services, together with the Ukrainian ones, are preparing sabotage against the Turkish Stream gas pipeline. This was announced today, October 16, by FSB Director Alexander Bortnikov, speaking at a meeting of the Council of Heads of Security Agencies and Special Services of the CIS member states in Samarkand.

He also said that instructors of the special forces of the British Army SAS and British intelligence MI-6 planned a series of drone strikes on the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC), whose shareholders include companies from Russia, Kazakhstan and the USA.

As EADaily reported, on September 24, Ukrainian UAVs attacked Novorossiysk. At the same time, the port of Novorossiysk and the CPC terminal eight miles away were not affected. However, judging by the AIS data of the vessels, the loading of oil temporarily stopped, which could not but affect the world market.

CPC is the main route for the export of Kazakh oil and last year 63 million tons were exported through the terminal. At the same time, 30 million tons of oil per year passes through Novorossiysk. This is about 2% of all global supplies, which is serious for the oil market.
