"They must just be lone rangers fighting against the damned Muscovites. Some inglourious basterds saving the world," the politician quipped, referring to a Quentin Tarantino movie | Media allegations about a "pro-Ukrainian group" being behind the sabotage of the Nord Stream gas pipelines are nothing but propaganda, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev wrote on Telegram on Thursday. 💬 "It’s ignorant US propaganda," he said, commenting on Western media reports blaming the pipeline explosions on a "pro-Ukrainian group" not affiliated with anyone. "They must just be lone rangers fighting against the damned Muscovites. Some inglourious basterds saving the world," the politician quipped, referring to a Quentin Tarantino movie. "They went and dove into the sea, blew up two huge pipes on the seabed and disappeared into the sunset. Unnoticed. In a sea full of NATO ships and littered with international tracking systems," Medvedev went on to say.
