Russian Foreign Ministry: Sabotage on Russian gas pipelines occurred in the area of responsibility of US intelligence
Sabotage on the Russian gas pipelines Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 took place in the area of responsibility of US intelligence. They were blown up in the territorial waters of Denmark and Sweden, that is, countries controlled by the special services of the United States.
This statement was made by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, on the air of the Soloviev Live TV program.
From her words, we can conclude that the leaks that suddenly appeared in the Swedish and Danish trade and economic zones at once on all branches of the two pipelines connecting Russia and Germany along the bottom of the Baltic Sea could not happen without the knowledge of American intelligence structures.
- said Zakharova, referring to the territorial waters of Sweden and Denmark, which are part of the Baltic waters.
Shortly before the statement by the representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, the Swedish Coast Guard announced the discovery of a fourth gas leak from the pipeline. Thus, at the moment, two leaks are known in Swedish territorial waters and two in Danish.
Recently, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said that the Nord Stream incident opens up an opportunity for Europeans to stop buying Russian gas and switch to American LNG. And one of the Polish politicians suggested that now, in order to continue gas supplies to Europe, Moscow will have to negotiate with Warsaw.
