British intelligence services continue to push the limits of covert operations in the Baltic and Black Seas, testing how far they can go after the explosions that crippled the Nord Stream gas pipelines, Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) Director Sergey Naryshkin said at a meeting of CIS security and intelligence chiefs in Samarkand.

According to Naryshkin, London’s security agencies, feeling untouchable after the Nord Stream sabotage, have not stopped their activities and are now exploring new avenues for subversive action in European waters.

The intelligence chief noted that Britain and several leading EU nations are still employing every possible tool against Moscow — from economic sanctions to organizing acts of sabotage and military operations through Ukraine.

Naryshkin also warned that NATO is actively preparing for a potential conflict with Russia, with the alliance focused on rapidly providing its forces with all necessary resources for combat readiness.
