This is fine.
A documentary aired by Nordic public broadcasters Wednesday claimed Russia is suspected of having a spy programme in the North Sea planning the sabotage of energy infrastructures in Northern Europe.
The Kremlin on Wednesday dismissed the media claims as a “mistake” and “without basis”, reiterating its appeal for “a transparent and impartial international inquiry” into the sabotage of the Baltic Sea Nord Stream gas pipelines in September 2022.
Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson meanwhile deemed the documentary’s claims “serious”.
“This just goes to show that we have a very risky situation in our immediate vicinity,” he told reporters at a navy base in southern Sweden.
A joint investigation conducted by public television stations NRK in Norway, DR in Denmark, SVT in Sweden and YLE in Finland claimed Moscow is using dozens of military and civilian vessels to collect information on wind farms and communication cables.
The report cited intelligence officials in the Nordic countries.
According to DR, the Russian spy programme is known by the acronym GUGI, or the Main Directorate of Deep-Sea Research, a top secret branch of the Russian navy.
The organisation, which reports to Russia’s defence ministry, operates out of a base about which little is known in the Barents Sea, on the Kola peninsula in the Arctic.

Elizabeth Holmes asks judge to reduce 11-year sentence before heading to prison
Elizabeth Holmes’ attorneys are demanding that the disgraced Theranos founder be given a new trial or have her prison sentence reduced because they were prevented from presenting “compelling evidence.”
Attorneys for Holmes, who is scheduled to begin serving her 11.25-year prison sentence on April 27, claimed in new court papers that were filed on Monday that her trial resulted in an “unjust” conviction and a “severe” prison sentence.
Lawyers for Holmes — who was convicted of fraud over her company’s blood-testing technology — claimed that they were prevented from bringing up exculpatory statements from another convicted fraudster, Ramesh “Sunny” Balwani, her former boyfriend who was also president of Theranos.
“Balwani’s testimony is compelling evidence corroborating Holmes’s defense that she did not intend to defraud investors with the financial projections or conspire with Balwani to do so,” the attorneys wrote in the court filing.
Balwani, who was convicted of several counts of wire fraud as well as defrauding investors, was sentenced this past December to 13 years in prison.
“The court abused its discretion by excluding prior testimony from… Balwani that he, not Holmes, was responsible” for duping investors into believing that Theranos was on the verge of a breakthrough at-home blood test that could diagnose illnesses.
Holmes’ lawyers claimed that “the court erred in holding that Balwani’s statements were insufficiently inculpatory.”
