Sputnik: Moscow Wants Answers Over Truss' Alleged 'It's Done' SMS to Blinken Moments After Nord Stream Blasts
Europe lost access to up to 110 billion cubic meters worth of natural gas on September 26, when a series of explosions rocked the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 pipelines carrying Russian gas to Germany via the Baltic Sea.

My prediction. There will be no declaration of war. But the hybrid war between the UK and the US against Russia is going to appreciate appreciably.
