Russian President Vladimir Putin has accused Ukraine, with what he described as support from Western intelligence agencies, of attempting to sabotage the peace process — including by threatening Russian energy infrastructure.⁣ ⁣ In televised remarks on Tuesday, Putin said Russian authorities had received operational information about a possible attempt to damage gas pipeline systems on the floor of the Black Sea. He stressed the need to strengthen protection of energy facilities and other strategic sites.⁣ ⁣ The pipelines mentioned include the Blue Stream, which supplies Russian natural gas to Türkiye under the Black Sea, and TurkStream, an export route linking Russia and Türkiye.⁣ ⁣ There has been no immediate response from Kyiv or Western governments to the allegations.⁣ ⁣ #Russia #Ukraine #BlackSea #Energy
