The spokesman for the Russian diplomatic mission described the events as “an act of international terrorism” that requires “a thorough and independent investigation.”
The US must show that it is not behind the explosions in the Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines, they declared on Thursday from the Russian Embassy in Washington, describing the events as “a act of international terrorism” which requires “a thorough and independent investigation”.
The comments by the spokesman for the diplomatic mission, Igor Girenko, come in response to the statements by the spokesman for the US State Department, Ned Price, who dismissed the Russian accusations about US involvement in the explosions as a “lie”. . “Is pure misinformation” that Washington “was behind” these events, Price said Wednesday at a press conference.
Girenko stressed that it is “significant” that Price’s comment followed the reporters’ question about what Washington thinks about the UN involvement in investigation of the explosions.
In this context, the Russian spokesman said that this is a “quite reasonable” question, taking into account the recent revelations by the American journalist Seymour Hersh that they were US Navy divers who placed the explosives under the gas pipelines in June 2022.
Moscow “will not allow the issue of detonations in critical energy infrastructure to be simply ignored,” Girenko stressed. “Especially considering that nothing is known about the remaining explosives that apparently remained unexploded on the seabed,” he added.
