Peskov announced the imminent disclosure of information about those responsible for the attack on Nord Streams

The truth about those responsible for undermining Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 will soon be revealed. This statement was made by the press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov, commenting on the call of Latvian President Edgars Rinkevics to close the Baltic Sea to Russian ships in the event of Russian involvement in damage to the Balticconnector gas pipeline.

“In this case, Mr. President of Latvia would like to ask what we will do with the Baltic Sea, when very soon the truth will be revealed about those who are and were behind the terrorist attack against Nord Streams, what does he propose to do with the Baltic Sea in this case?” – said Peskov (quote according to TASS).

He stressed that Russia “has not and will never have anything to do with any actions of this kind.” Moscow will be interested in observing Latvia’s behavior in the case of Nord Streams, Peskov added.

On September 26, 2022, the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines, which pass through the Baltic Sea, were damaged as a result of sabotage. Only one of the Nord Stream 2 lines has survived, but it is not used for gas supplies, since Germany did not allow the pipeline to be put into operation after its completion.

Russian President Vladimir Putin accused the Anglo-Saxons of involvement in the attack. Already in October 2022, Sweden announced the completion of the investigation, declaring “increasing suspicions of gross sabotage,” but those responsible for the incident were never named. The Kremlin has repeatedly called for an independent investigation and for Russia to be allowed into it.

American journalist Seymour Hersh stated about involvement in the bombing of US gas pipelines. At the same time, a number of Western media claimed that evidence points to the involvement of criminals associated with Ukraine in the sabotage. For the first time about a certain “pro-Ukrainian group” reported The New York Times in March 2023. At the same time, Die Zeit stated that a Ukrainian ship on which traces of explosives were found could have been involved in the sabotage. Kremlin doubted in these data and called the messages “coordinated stuffing.”
