Putin named those interested in undermining the Nord Stream gas pipelines

The one who was interested in supplying Europe with Russian gas only through the territory of Ukraine, and staged explosions on the Nord Stream gas pipelines, said Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“Who is interested in supplying Russian gas to Europe only through Ukraine? That’s the one that blew up. No one is investigating,” the head of state said at a press conference (quote by RIA Novosti)

During his speech, the president also stressed that the Russian side was able to inspect the sites of the explosions only once. There is no full-fledged investigation into this incident, Putin said.

At the end of October, Putin informedwhat “Gazprom” received a permit and was able to conduct a survey of the area where the explosions on the Nord Stream gas pipelines occurred. He stressed that this incident is an obvious terrorist attack. According to him, the terrorist attack on the Nord Streams fundamentally undermines the interests of the Europeans, but they “shut their mouths and are silent, as if it should be so.”

On the night of September 26, pressure dropped on the Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines, and later two leaks were discovered that were located in the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of Sweden, and two more in the Danish EEZ. Then the Kremlin admitted that it could be a “terrorist attack at the state level.” September 30, during his speech in the Kremlin, Putin accused The West in sabotage on the Nord Stream highways and the destruction of the European energy structure.
