New Delhi [India], March 2 (ANI): Russia is shocked at impunity over the Nord Stream sabotage in the area of NATO and EU’s responsibility, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Thursday, Sputnik News Agency reported.
While addressing the G20 ministerial meeting, Lavrov insisted on having a fair and swift investigation into the terror attack, regarding the Nord Stream issue, with the involvement of Russia and others.
“We are witnessing the degradation of international economic relations provoked by the West, their transformation into a weapon, including in the energy sector. […] We insist on a fair and swift investigation into the terror attack with involvement of Russia and others concerned,” he said, according to Sputnik news agency.
Lavrov was referring to the American investigative journalist and political writer Seymour Hersh alleged report that claimed that the September 2022 bombing of the undersea Nord Stream gas pipelines was carried out by the US in a covert operation, according to the findings of his investigation published in Substack.
Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Hersh noted that the decision to damage the pipelines occurred after more than nine months of top-secret debates inside the Washington intelligence community.
