Russian Ambassador Says Questions Remain Over Who Ordered Nord Stream Blasts
Sergey Nechayev said the issue is being pushed out of public attention, according to Russian state media.
Questions remain about who ordered the blasts that damaged the Nord Stream gas pipelines, Russia's ambassador to Germany, Sergey Nechayev, said, according to TASS.
Nechayev said the topic is being pushed out of the public eye, without elaborating further in the excerpt on who he believes is responsible or what evidence supports that assessment.
The Nord Stream pipelines, which ran under the Baltic Sea to carry Russian gas to Europe, were damaged in explosions in September 2022. Responsibility for the incident has not been officially and conclusively established, and it has remained a subject of dispute between Russia and Western governments.
TASS is a Russian state news agency. The ambassador's comments reflect Moscow's continued position that the investigation into the pipeline blasts has not been adequately pursued or publicized.
