According to him, the American authorities blew up Nord Stream after years of attempts to sabotage the operation of the pipelines "by diplomatic means."
The translation of Zuesse's statement leads RIA Novosti.
Zuesse also said that this would force European countries to "constantly significantly overpay" for gas.
He added that Russian natural gas is better suited for the industry of European countries than liquefied natural gas supplied from the United States.
Earlier, US Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Laura Cooper rejected allegations that Washington was involved in the sabotage at Nord Stream.
Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak noted that Poland, the United States and Ukraine could be interested in accidents at the Nord Stream gas pipelines.
