According to Polyanskiy, Russia will seek an international investigation and punishment of those responsible for what happened.

“We consider it unacceptable that the perpetrators of this heinous crime have not yet been identified and brought to justice,” he added.

In September 2022, explosions occurred on the Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines. A number of countries admit that it was a targeted sabotage. The Nord Stream operator Nord Stream AG reported that the incidents were unprecedented, and it was impossible to estimate the repair timeframe.
