MOSCOW, Sept. 20 (Xinhua) -- Russia will complete its investigation into the "terrorist attacks" on the Nord Stream pipelines to ensure that the truth about the incident is made public, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said on Friday.
"Russia intends to complete its investigation into the terrorist attacks on the Nord Stream pipelines that took place in September 2022," Zakharova said during her weekly briefing.
"We will make every effort, including within the framework of multilateral formats, to ensure that the truth is made public," Zakharova said, adding that a United Nations Security Council meeting on the Nord Stream pipeline attacks is scheduled for next Thursday.
Zakharova pointed out that in their pursuit of what they call "a strategic defeat of Russia," the United States and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) allies have been using all possible methods, even "openly resorting to terrorism."
On Sept. 26, 2022, the Nord Stream pipelines transporting natural gas from Russia to Europe were ruptured in a series of explosions underneath the Baltic Sea near Sweden and Denmark. Sweden, Denmark, and Germany have called the incident a deliberate act of sabotage.
The investigations that Germany, Denmark and Sweden had initiated following the attacks excluded Russia and led to no meaningful results. In 2024, both Sweden and Denmark announced they would be concluding their probes into the pipeline explosions. ■
