MOSCOW (Sputnik) – The Danish Energy Agency has invited the operator of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, Nord Stream 2 AG, to participate in an operation to recover an object found near the gas pipeline.
In March, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that while investigating the pipeline, Gazprom experts had found a certain “column” about 30 kilometers (19 miles) from the site of the explosion. It was installed in a vulnerable place, at the junction of the pipes.
The object could be an antenna to receive a signal to set off an explosive device planted under the pipeline system, Putin noted.

“In order to further clarify the nature of the object, the Danish authorities have decided to recover the object with the help of the Danish defence. The Danish Energy Agency has in this context invited the owner of the pipeline, Nord Stream 2 AG, to participate in the operation.”
The agency also attaches a photograph of the object and notes that it is cylindrical in shape, and measures approximately 40 centimeters high and 10 centimeters in diameter. The press release adds that it could be a marine smoke buoy.
The agency is awaiting a response from Nord Stream 2 AG before proceeding with the operation, the statement said.
The Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines, built to deliver gas under the Baltic Sea from Russia to Germany, have been out of service since being hit by explosions last September. Nord Stream operator Nord Stream AG said the damage was unprecedented and it was impossible to estimate how long repairs might take.
Underwater explosions have occurred on three of the four chains of the Nord Stream 1 and 2 underwater pipelines built to transport 110 billion cubic meters of Russian gas to Europe each year. Germany, Denmark and Sweden have launched separate investigations into the incident.
Russia considers the explosions of the two pipelines an act of international terrorism. The official results of the investigation are not yet known, but Pulitzer Prize-winning American investigative journalist Seymour Hersh published a report in February naming the United States and Norway as the culprits.
