“There is no doubt that this is an act of international terrorism,” Putin said.

He called the goal of this attack to undermine the energy security of the entire continent and block sources of cheap energy. 

Earlier, Putin said that Russian representatives were not allowed to investigate the explosions 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.

On September 26, sabotage occurred on two Russian export gas pipelines to Europe, Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2.
