Russia not to acknowledge N Stream investigation without access

MOSCOW, Oct 13 (PRIME) -- Russia will not acknowledge the results of an investigation of the Nord Stream pipeline sabotage if its experts receive no access to the process, the Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Thursday.

“It is obvious that Russia will not acknowledge any ‘pseudo-results’ of this investigation if Russian specialists are not a part of it,” the ministry said.

The ministry has summoned the ambassadors of Germany, Denmark, and Sweden in the past few days as Moscow was baffled with a lack of reaction to a letter that Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin sent to his German, Danish, and Swedish counterparts on October 5 asking for access to Russian experts and Gazprom employees to the joint investigation.

Moreover, information about other countries like the U.S. getting access to the investigation is emerging.

If Russian experts are not involved in the investigation, Moscow will assume that the countries have something to hide and they want to cover the real perpetrators of the terrorist attack on the pipelines.
