Between Moscow and the West, tensions seem to be intensifying day by day. Recently, the United States accused Moscow of having organized a new sabotage attempt. Serious accusations, which were quickly brushed aside by the Kremlin spokesperson.
In fact, Washington simply accused the United States of having orchestrated the sending of incendiary devices aboard commercial flights, which were intended for airports in the United States and Canada. This is not the first time that the United States has pointed the finger at this type of action, since Moscow has already been accused of the same facts last July.
Washington accuses Moscow of attempted sabotage
At the time, two flights (from Leipzig, Germany, and Birmingham, England) were delayed after two suspicious packages caught fire. These were two tampered with electric massagers, which then contained a liquid substance, based on magnesium. Fortunately, despite the alert, no one was injured and everything ultimately ended well.
In the most recent case, the tampered device was allegedly left on a plane departing from Lithuania. On site, a man was arrested, Igor Prudnikov (his real identity is believed to be Alexander Suranovas). Local authorities accuse him of having worked for the Russian secret services. Moreover, four other people were arrested, this time in Poland, in connection with this affair.
The Kremlin denies these accusations
For many Western experts, this information is not surprising, with the latter accusing Russia of wanting to intensify acts of sabotage. Accusations however refuted by Dmitri Peskov, spokesperson for the Kremlin, affirmed that insinuations against Russia had become commonplace, but that they were absolutely unfounded.
