The Russian government has questioned the alleged US intelligence reports on the involvement of a group related to Ukraine in the September sabotage against the Nord Stream gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea, to the extent that they consider it “difficult to believe”. that there is no State behind this action.

“It is too difficult a task,” said Kremlin spokesman Dimitri Peskov, pointing instead to a “well-trained state special service.” “There are not so many in the world,” he added, without referring to any specific government, according to the Interfax news agency.

Peskov has also been struck by the fact that information has come out in the United States and German media about this case at the same time and that all of them point to a Ukrainian group that has no record of any kind of link with the Government of Volodimir Zelenski.

In this sense, he has called for a “quick and transparent” investigation into a “terrorist attack” for which kyiv has blamed Moscow directly. Peskov has insisted that any accusation against Russia is “absurd”, “absolutely unfounded”.

The Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 were designed to carry gas from Russia to Germany and the investigations carried out on their destruction point to the placement of explosives in both pipelines. Thus, all the governments agree that it was sabotage, although they disagree as to the suspects and objectives.
