MOSCOW, Sept 27, 2023 (BSS/AFP) - Moscow claimed on Wednesday that Washington and London helped Ukraine strike the headquarters of the Russian Black Sea Fleet in annexed Crimea last week.

"There is not the slightest doubt that the attack was planned in advance using Western intelligence assets, NATO satellite equipment, and reconnaissance aircraft," Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said. The missile strike was carried out "in close coordination with the American and British intelligence services," she added.
