The “Nord Stream” natural gas pipeline starts from Russia and reaches Germany through the Baltic Sea. In September 2022, the “Nord Stream” natural gas pipeline exploded and a large amount of natural gas leaked. The incident occurred in the waters near Sweden and Denmark. Sweden, Denmark and Germany are investigating the incident separately. Swedish prosecutors previously said that an investigation confirmed that the “Nord Stream” pipeline was vandalized, but it is not yet known who did it. Seymour Hersh, a well-known American investigative journalist, once wrote an article revealing that the Nord Stream pipeline was secretly sabotaged by the US intelligence agency and the US military. The U.S. government denies this.
Russia says the West refuses to share investigation details and must find out the truth
Russia has repeatedly called for a joint investigation into the “Nord Stream” natural gas pipeline explosion, but has been rejected. Russian Presidential Press Secretary Peskov stated on the 6th that the explosion of the “Nord Stream” natural gas pipeline was a deliberate sabotage of key international infrastructure. Russia has repeatedly asked Western countries to share the investigation situation, but there has been no response.
Russian Presidential Press Secretary Peskov: We are waiting for any conclusions drawn from the investigation and any decisions made by relevant parties. The “Beixi” incident is a destruction of critical international infrastructure. If the perpetrators and the masterminds behind the incident are not identified, this matter cannot be let go.
