Peskov calls Russian accusations of cable breaks in the Baltic Sea absurd

Russia has nothing to do with the cable breakage and it is absurd to accuse it of this. Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on November 20.

"Look, it's quite absurd to continue blaming Russia for everything without any grounds. This is the first thing. The second is probably ridiculous, for example, against the background of the lack of any reaction to Ukraine's sabotage activities in the Baltic Sea," Peskov said.

He pointed out that it is Kiev that prefers to engage in acts of sabotage, recalling the Nord Stream bombings.
