The director of Russia’s domestic FSB intelligence service has accused NATO’s U.K. of direct involvement in attacks on Russia.
“Special units of the British Armed Forces (SAS) are directly involved in combat operations,” Alexander Bortnikov said on Thursday at a meeting of the CIS Council of Security Agencies and Special Services, state news agency RIA reported.
Bortnikov also said, originally in Russian, that “under the patronage of the British special services…acts of terrorism and sabotage are carried out on the territory of the Russian Federation.”
He claimed that Ukraine’s Operation Spiderweb, which hit airfields and strategic bombers deep inside Russia, was conducted “under the direct supervision of British intelligence”.
