March 3 (Reuters) – Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Friday that Russia “will not allow the West to blow up gas pipelines again” and said Moscow would no longer trust the West in as an energy partner.

Moscow has suggested Western countries were responsible for the explosions that damaged Nord Stream gas pipelines in September, a claim they have denied, and called for an international investigation.

Lavrov made the remarks at an event in India a day after attending a meeting of G20 foreign ministers.
