Denmark did not allow Russia to participate in the investigation of the undermining of the Nord Stream

Copenhagen will not give Moscow permission to participate in the investigation of explosions on the Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines. About it declared Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lökke Rasmussen, reports The Local Denmark.

“Denmark has stated that it will not give Russia permission to participate in the investigation of explosions on the Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines. Denmark’s position was confirmed by Foreign Minister Lars Lekke Rasmussen. According to Rasmussen, the Danish, Swedish and German investigations can be trusted because “the rule of law reigns” in these countries.

On March 14, Russian Deputy Representative to the UN Dmitry Polyansky informedthat Russia circulated among the members of the UN Security Council correspondence with Germany, Denmark and Sweden on the Nord Stream investigation. According to Polyansky, these documents will make sure that “the allegations that these countries informed us about the progress of their investigations are not true.”

The Nord Stream incident occurred on the night of September 26, 2022. Pressure dropped in both pipelines. Two subsequently discovered leaks were in the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of Sweden, and two more were in the Danish EEZ. Initially, Germany, Sweden and Denmark agreed to conduct a joint investigation, but this idea was later abandoned. In October 2022, Sweden announced the completion of the investigation, stating “increasing suspicions of gross sabotage”, but those responsible for what happened were not named.

February 8 American journalist Seymour Hersh published investigation of the Nord Stream incident, in which he accused the United States and Norway of being involved in the bombing. The White House and the European Commission called this information unreliable. In the Kremlin declared about the unwillingness of the West to transparently investigate the Nord Stream case.
