‘Germany is right to investigate Nord Stream pipeline blasts’: Kremlin

The Kremlin has said on Monday that despite external pressures and attempts by some Western dominating powers to silent what really happened, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz was right to seek a full-fledged investigation into an attack on the Nord Stream gas pipelines in the year 2022.

Scholz said in an interview with German media over the weekend that Berlin’s investigation would enure that nothing was deliberately kept secret and make sure that those responsible for the blasts were held accountable and punished.

Russia has repeatedly complained that Berlin has not been doing enough for the investigation of the explosions, which took place in September 2022 which partially destroyed the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines that were built to carry Russian gas to Europe under the Baltic Sea.

However, Russian spokesman Dmitry Peskov welcomed Scholz’s latest comments on Monday.

“We absolutely agree that the terrorist attack, the sabotage of the Nord Streams must be thoroughly investigated, despite the desperate attempts of some states involved in this story to hush it up,” Peskov told the media, without naming the countries he was accusing of a cover-up.
