Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stated on Wednesday that Ukrainian forces conducted the attack on Sevastopol on September 22 "in close coordination with" the United States and the United Kingdom.
"There is not the slightest doubt that this attack was pre-planned using Western intelligence assets, NATO satellite equipment, spy planes and was realized with the submission and in close coordination with the American and British intelligence services," she noted during a press briefing.
Zakharova added that the purpose of "such terrorist acts" was to mask Kiev's unsuccessful counter-offensive and to spread fear and panic in Russian society, but she assured that these goals will not be achieved.
