Patrushev called the United States the main beneficiaries of the explosions at Nord Stream

He noted that from the first minutes after the reports of explosions on gas pipelines in the West, a campaign was launched to find the perpetrators.

"However, it is obvious that the main beneficiary, primarily economic, is the United States," RIA Novosti quoted Patrushev as saying.

The Secretary of the Russian Security Council recalled the incident with the explosion of an underwater pipeline in the port of Puerto Sandino in Nicaragua in 1983.

Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov previously recalled that in February Biden promised to get rid of Nord Stream 2.

As White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre explained, Biden promised not to destroy the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, but not to allow it to be put into operation.
