KYIV, Oct 14 – Ukraine denies allegations by Russia of allegedly planning or taking actions against energy infrastructure in Europe, the Foreign Ministry said.

"Russia's attempts to persuade European governments to make concessions, including the lifting of sanctions, with the energy blackmail have been defeated. Demands to pay for gas in rubles, stoppage of gas supply due to allegedly 'technical' reasons and other methods did not have any success. Instead, Europe showed strength and began fast diversification and refusal of the blackmailer's energy resources. Therefore, Putin decided to move from blackmail to terrorism — physical damage to the energy infrastructure. His goal is to disrupt supply routes and issue an ultimatum: launch Nord Stream 2 because you have no other choice," according to a commentary published by the ministry's press service.
