A certain state is involved in the emergency at Nord Stream, Sweden believes

BRUSSELS, September 30 — PRIME. A certain state was involved in the damage to Nord Stream, Swedish Energy Minister Hashajar Farmanbar said.

“Probably it was done intentionally, not by accident, and it is very unlikely that it was done by someone other than the state,” he told reporters upon arrival at an extraordinary meeting of EU energy ministers.

The Nord Stream incidents took place on September 26. According to information from the authorities of Denmark and Sweden, two gas leaks were discovered at Nord Stream and one at Nord Stream 2 near the island of Bornholm. Germany, Denmark and Sweden do not rule out targeted sabotage.

The Russian side officially requested information from Denmark about the emergency at Nord Stream as soon as the incident became known. The Danish authorities notified the Russian Federation about the explosions at the site of the gas leak. The operator of Nord Stream, Nord Stream AG, reported that the emergency on gas pipelines was unprecedented, and it was impossible to estimate the timing of repairs.

Earlier, the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation initiated the initiation of a case on an act of international terrorism after the damage to the Nord Stream gas pipelines. First Deputy Representative of the Russian Federation to the UN Dmitry Polyansky said that an urgent meeting of the UN Security Council in connection with sabotage against the Nord Stream gas pipeline was scheduled for 22.00 Moscow time on Friday.
