“We will continue to coordinate closely with our European allies and partners, support European investigations, and continue our efforts to increase energy independence. Any suggestion that the United States is involved in this is absolutely baseless,” the doorman said. -speak to Sputnik in a statement. Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin called the explosions a terrorist attack that could only be carried out with the direct participation of state structures interested in continuing gas transit through Ukraine. On Wednesday, the Washington Post reported, quoting a European official, that there is no evidence that Russia was responsible for the explosions at the pipeline system in September. The statement was confirmed by 23 other diplomatic and intelligence officials in nine countries interviewed by the newspaper. The explosions occurred on September 26 on three of the four chains of Nord Stream 1 and 2 undersea gas pipelines built to transport 110 billion cubic meters of Russian gas to Europe each year. The incidents interrupted gas deliveries to Germany ahead of the cold season, causing gas prices to rise and a rush to alternative sources in the European Union. Germany, Denmark and Sweden have launched separate investigations into the alleged sabotage, with German media reporting trust issues between the three EU countries. Russia’s prosecutor general’s office said it had opened an investigation into suspicions of international terrorism.
