In addition, he recalled the statements made in February by US President Joe Biden when he promised that he would end Nord Stream 2.
The Russian Embassy in the United States commented this Thursday on its social networks the attempts of some US legislators to blame Russia for the incidents that occurred in the Nord Stream gas pipelines, highlighting that, in reality, there are facts that may indicate the opposite.
“Maybe from the top of Capitol Hill they’ll see more. But if that’s the case, they should have seen too.” US warship activity a day before there was a failure in the Russian infrastructure in this place or observe US Navy exercises with underwater explosives that were carried out in the same area some time ago,” wrote the diplomatic representation.
In addition, he recalled the statements made in February by US President Joe Biden when he promised that he would end Nord Stream 2.
Thus, the Embassy raised the question: “Who benefits from the rupture of the gas pipelines?”. According to the legation, “the answer it’s on the surface“.
In this regard, he stated that the need to eliminate Russia as a competitor stems from “disability of the United States to offer a decent alternative to the reliable and cheap gas supplies of the Russian Federation”. That is why Washington could decide to achieve its objective with other commercial methods or sanctions, to “hook its allies to the expensive energy resources Americans,” he said.
The US is “in full control of the situation there”
On the same day, the spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zajarova, assured that the emergencies in the Nord Stream gas transportation system took place in an area controlled by US secret services.
“It’s the commercial and economic zone of Denmark and Sweden, and these are the very NATO-focused countries that are crammed with US weapons, these are the same countries that are completely controlled by the US intelligence services. They are absolutely and precisely under the control of the US intelligence services, which have the total control of the situation there,” he said.
The Embassy stressed that to discuss the circumstances of the attacks on gas pipelines, Russia will convene an extraordinary meeting of the UN Security Council.
- Seismological stations in Sweden and Denmark on Tuesday recorded powerful underwater explosions in the same area of the Baltic where the gas leaks occurred.
- Some countries claim that it could be an “act of sabotage”, and due to the complexity of the alleged attack, it could only have been carried out by a state actor.
- For its part, Russia launched a criminal case for international terrorism on Wednesday after the damage to the Nord Stream gas pipelines.
