Peskov spoke about the beneficiaries of the state of emergency with Nord Stream

MOSCOW, 3 Oct — PRIME. It is profitable for the United States to sell expensive LNG, there are also countries that are technologically capable of sabotage on the Nord Stream, said Dmitry Peskov, press secretary of the Russian President.

“There are definitely parties or a party that, in the absence of the functioning of these gas pipelines, gets the opportunity to sell more of their liquefied gas at a higher price. This is the first. This country is well known – the United States of America. There are also countries that have military-technological capabilities to carry out such sabotage. These countries are also well known to all specialists,” he said.

According to the official representative of the Kremlin, Russia and the countries of Europe, which will lose a backup route for the supply of gas so necessary for the economy, are not at all interested in an emergency on pipelines.

Last week, incidents occurred simultaneously on two Russian gas export pipelines to Europe. According to information from the Danish and Swedish authorities, two gas leaks were discovered at Nord Stream and one at Nord Stream 2 near Bornholm Island. Berlin, Copenhagen and Stockholm did not rule out targeted sabotage.
