Moscow blamed London for the explosions that brought down the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines. London has denied any involvement, Reuters reported over the weekend.

“According to the information available, representatives of this unit of the British Navy participated in the planning, delivery and implementation of a terrorist attack in the Baltic Sea on September 26 this year: they blew up the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 fuel pipelines. , the Russian Defense Ministry said.

Four leaks, two in each of the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines, were found in early October after fuel began leaking earlier this week from infrastructure just outside Swedish and Danish territorial waters in the Baltic Sea.

An investigation submitted by the Swedish government concluded that the leaks were the result of detonations, the result of “serious sabotage. “The Swedish side has refused to share the results of its investigations with Russia, but said this week it would continue with the investigation. The breakthrough did not end with the appointment of a user guilty of the explosions.

Russia, meanwhile, has submitted its own investigation into the explosions, with the company that operates the infrastructure saying last week that “after exhausting the calibration work, specialists will be in a position to begin the investigation of the broken zone within 24 hours. “It would take 3 to 5 days based on existing estimates,” Upstream reported.
