According to Russia Today TV on March 5, the head of Russia's foreign intelligence service, Sergei Naryshkin, said that Washington and London were behind the blowing up of the two Nord Stream gas pipelines.
According to the report, in September 2022, a series of ** destroyed energy corridors designed to deliver Russian gas directly to Germany. Germany, Denmark and Sweden, all of which have economic zones along the corridor, were unable to agree on joint action and each investigated the incident. Last month, however, Stockholm and Copenhagen concluded their investigations.
Naryshkin said on the Solovyov Live channel: "Of course, we have indirect clues about who did it. These indirect traces are all left by the perpetrators themselves. The mosaic puzzle has been pieced together. This mosaic puzzle clearly points to the author. ”
Both Putin and Moscow's senior officials in Russia have previously claimed that the United States has benefited the most from the sabotage, noting that Washington has openly opposed the construction of the gas pipeline, the report said. Moscow also accused the West of obstructing the investigation.
Putin recently accused the CIA in an interview with American journalist Tucker Carlson, saying that the United States was behind the sabotage of the Nord Stream gas pipelines. He declined to say what evidence prompted him to reach that conclusion.
Investigative journalist Seymour Hersh reportedly said in February 2023 that, according to his sources, Joe Biden personally ordered the blowing up of these gas pipelines. Hersh said Biden seeks to consolidate Germany's hostility to Russia in the Ukraine conflict to ensure the EU's long-term dependence on Western energy. The White House has denied the claim, but Putin said he found some truth in Hersh's explanation. (Compiled by Long Jun).
