Russia’s hints of US liability for leaks on the North Stream-1 and North Stream-2 gas pipelines are ridiculous, the head of the press service of the National Security Council of the White House Aidrienn Watson said, Agency France-Presse.
“This is ridiculous,” she answered, commenting on the statements of the official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Maria Zakharova, who stated that US President Joe Biden is obliged to answer whether the United States implicated its threat regarding the Northern Stream gas pipelines.
“We all know that Russia has a long history of the spread of misinformation and is engaged in this again,” said Watson.
Earlier, Maria Zakharova said that Russia plans to convene a meeting of the UN Security Council in connection with incidents with gas pipelines “North Stream” and “Northern Stream 2”.
On the night of September 26, pressure dropped in the North Stream-2 gas pipeline. The decline was recorded in the pipe “A” in the exclusive economic zone of Denmark southeast of the island of Bornholm. On the same day, the pressure fell on both threads of the Nord Stream. The Swedish seismologists have announced two explosions registered in this area. Sweden police began a preliminary investigation on the fact of a possible sabotage.
