Ryabkov: Russia confident in US involvement in sabotage at Nord Stream

Russia has no doubt that Washington is responsible for what happened with Nord Stream, in fact this is already a proven fact. This was stated by the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia Sergey Ryabkov on the First Channel.

“We have no doubts that the responsibility lies with the United States, and we will continue to work to ensure that this does not remain in the past, without consequences for the United States,” the diplomat said.

Ryabkov called the emergency at Nord Stream “an outrageous act of sabotage” and “a terrorist act of unheard of proportions.”

In the near future, according to a representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, an in-depth study of this topic is planned at one of the meetings of the UN Security Council. Ryabkov stressed that there is no doubt about the reliability of the sources from which the US involvement in the terrorist act became known.

The Nord Stream gas pipelines were attacked on September 26 last year. Germany, Denmark and Sweden admitted that there was a deliberate sabotage. At the same time, Russia was not allowed to participate in the investigation for a long time.

President Vladimir Putin said that what happened is an act of international terrorism, in which the Anglo-Saxons are involved.

Compensation for damage to Nord Stream was estimated at 17 billion euros. On the fact of the incidents in Russia, a criminal case was opened on the commission of an act of international terrorism.
