Moscow raises accusations in Washington for the sabotage of the Nord Stream gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea. In some statements entrusted to TASS, the Russian ambassador to Washington, Anatoly Antonov, insists on the need for an investigation to clarify the facts and clearly alludes to the responsibility of the American side. “We record attempts by some American lawmakers to blame Russia for the accidents that occurred at the NordStream 1 and 2 pipelines,” he says. “Perhaps they have a better view from the top of Capitol Hil. But if this is the case they must also have seen the activities of American warships just the day before exactly at the site of the breakdown of the Russian infrastructure. Or noticed drones and helicopters that they flew over the area. Or watched American explosives scuba drills conducted in the same area some time ago. And then they must have remembered President Biden’s promise to ‘end’ the NordStream 2 project. ”
