NATO said it believed the leaks in the Nord Stream gas pipeline were caused by sabotage operations, calling for an investigation “while still establishing the causes of the damage.”

On Wednesday, September 28, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko announced Russia’s readiness to consider requests for a joint investigation into the causes of the accident on the Nord Stream gas pipeline, as requested by Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, the US president. Joe Biden responded if the United States followed through on its threat to “get rid of (Nord Stream 2)”, referring to a video in which Biden threatened not to have the Nord Stream 2 pipeline if “Russia attacked Ukraine,” said he.

Earthquake sources in Denmark and Sweden are also monitored by strong explosions in the areas where the Nord Stream gas pipelines flow, about which the Danish authorities informed the Russian Embassy in Copenhagen at the request of the embassy.
