Kim Dotcom, a self-proclaimed 'Internet Freedom Fighter', says the text message is the reason Russia believes the United Kingdom was involved in blowing up the gas pipeline.

"Liz Truss used her iPhone to send a message to Secretary Blinken saying 'it's done' a minute after the pipeline blew up and before anybody else knew," he told his nearly one million Twitter followers.

Dotcom, who was born Kim Schmitz in West Germany, suggested the data was obtained through an iCloud hack.
