This is definitely possible. The British are one of the few actors in the region that would have the capabilities to do it. They wouldn’t have done it without consultation from the United States though. So the US could have approved the operation and the UK carried out the orders.
This retired British Navy officer responded to Russia’s accusations by comically claiming that the Russians blew up their own pipes.

The British Ministry of Defense also issued this ridiculous statement. They claimed that what Russia was saying was false without offering any reasons as to why it is false.
To detract from their disastrous handling of the illegal invasion of Ukraine, the Russian Ministry of Defence is resorting to peddling false claims of an epic scale
This invented story, says more about arguments going on inside the Russian Government than it does about the west

As I’ve said repeatedly, it is just retarded to say that Russia blew up its own pipe infrastructure. This pipeline system was a major revenue generating asset for them.
If the British want the world to believe them, they should be supporting a transparent investigation into the sabotage. They and other NATO countries are not doing that and are hiding any information pertaining to what happened. That’s why I believe the Russians over anything these people are saying.
