The Pentagon refused to “guess” who is responsible for the emergency at Nord Stream

Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin said he would not guess who was responsible for the emergency on the Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines. He noted that Washington will wait for the official results of the investigation.

Mr. Austin explained that “there are many hypotheses” about the causes of the emergency, but “until the investigation is fully completed, no one will be able to say for sure what happened.” “Until we get the full amount of information in order to conduct further analysis, we will not guess who may be responsible,” the minister said at a press conference (quoted from TASS).

The State Department said they intend to help Europe investigate the emergency at Nord Stream. “We intend to continue to work hand in hand with our European partners to sort this out,” Vedant Patel, First Deputy State Department Press Officer, said at a briefing.

September 26 at Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 pressure dropped sharply. Denmark revealed a “huge” leak in the gas pipeline. Sweden informedthat the explosions were the cause. NATO called damage to gas pipelines a sabotage, Vladimir Putin – an act of terrorism. FSB aroused criminal case. Kremlin considered “stupid and absurd” assumptions about Russia’s involvement in the state of emergency.

Details – in the publication “Kommersant FM” Nord Stream releases gas.
