Ukraine’s Defense Minister Reznikov refutes Ukraine's involvement in explosions on Russian gas pipelines

Reznikov made the statement in Stockholm, where he arrived to participate in a meeting of EU defense ministers.

"For me, this is a rather strange story, it has nothing to do with us. I think that the official investigation conducted by the relevant authorities will describe all the details. It would be a certain compliment to our special forces, but this is not our doing," the defense minister said.

• The New York Times published a story claiming that the blast of Russian gas pipelines was allegedly organized by a pro-Ukrainian group not directly affiliated with the government or intelligence services.

• The Presidential Office denied Ukraine's involvement in the explosions at Nord Stream in the Baltic Sea.
