Sweden, Denmark and Germany will not jointly investigate the emergency at Nord Stream

MOSCOW, 14 Oct – PRIME. Sweden, Denmark and Germany refused to jointly investigate the sabotage at Nord Stream, the Tagesschau portal, owned by the ARD media company, reports, citing government sources.

“Sweden, Denmark and Germany wanted to jointly investigate the destruction of pipelines and find out who is responsible for this. But this still will not happen,” the report says.

It is noted that the joint investigation team was disbanded, Sweden was the first to leave due to privacy concerns, and then Denmark.

Now each country will conduct its investigation separately from the others.

A gas leak on the strings of the Russian gas pipelines Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 was discovered on September 26 in the Baltic Sea. According to Swedish seismologists, powerful underwater explosions were recorded in the emergency area the day before. The Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation initiated the initiation of a case on an act of international terrorism.

Agence France Presse said, citing the Prime Minister of the Swedish transitional government, Magdalena Andersson, that Stockholm does not plan to allow Russia to investigate sabotage on gas pipelines. In this regard, the Russian Foreign Ministry made a demarche to the ambassadors of Germany, Denmark and Sweden, saying that it would not recognize the results of the investigation if Russian specialists did not participate in it.
