Russia’s FSB security service on Tuesday accused Ukrainian military intelligence of organising an attack on a gas pipeline on Crimea after Moscow arrested a Crimean Tatar leader over the incident.
The FSB said Ukraine’s GUR military intelligence service and the Mejlis, the outlawed representative body of the Crimean Tatars, had conspired to blow up a gas pipeline on Aug. 23 outside the city of Simferopol.
On Monday, a court in Crimea ordered Nariman Dzhelyalov, ex-deputy chairman of the Mejlis, to be held in custody for two months over the pipeline incident.
The FSB said in a statement that the perpetrators had been promised a payment of around $2,000 by Ukraine’s military intelligence.
