The powerful secretary of Russia’s Security Council, and Vladimir Putin’s alter ego, Nikolai Patrushev said on Wednesday that the United States, Britain and their NATO allies “bear responsibility” for the destruction of the Kakhovka dam, state news agency TASS reported.

Patrushev said that these countries “coordinate the activities of Ukraine” and therefore “gave their consent to the bombings”.

The dam collapsed early Tuesday morning, sending torrents of water across large areas in southern Ukraine’s Kherson region. Both Ukraine and Russia blame each other for the dam’s destruction.

“The destruction of hydroelectricity station Kakhovka from Kiev it is an act of terrorism” claimed the representative of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maria Zakharova.

According to her, the US authorities are obliged to give an answer about “how exactly US weapons are used on the territory of Ukraine.”

“The situation with the collapse of the hydroelectric dam” should be made a subject global examination and research, said the spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry.

“The West’s reaction to all these situations is 100% predictable. It’s an endless desire to blame Russia for everything that happens, regardless of whether something really happened or is a figment of the imagination,” the official said. Moreover, the West’s reaction “will always be like this,” he added.

The spokeswoman explained that this is part of disinformation and psychological warfare and the “endless connection of all the negative things that are happening in Western countries, outside of them and in the periphery of our country, in order to maintain the hysterical attitude of the population them against Russia”.

He also mentioned that the Kiev regime will eventually attack its Western creators with its “terrorist sting”.

According to her, this happened with all terrorist organizations.

“At first, the West fed them with a spoon, fed them, then they fattened them up, thinking they were for slaughter, and then it turned out that they did everything to slaughter themselves, because at some point these monsters began to devour the creators them,” Zakharova even stated.

He stressed that the West is making a “big mistake” if it doubts that the Kiev regime will not turn its “terrorist sting” against it.

Earlier, the vice-chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev he stated that the Kiev regime “must be destroyed like a hornet’s nest, as there will be a constant threat from there”.
