He said this at a joint press conference with Indian Foreign Minister Subramanyam Jaishankar after the talks.

“The leaks are under investigation, early reports indicate that this may be the result of an attack or an act of sabotage.

But these are initial reports and we haven't confirmed it yet.

But if this is confirmed, then it is clearly not in anyone's interests.

As far as I understand, leaks will not have a significant impact on the energy sustainability of Europe, ”TASS quotes Blinken.

Earlier, Nord Stream 2 AG reported an emergency on the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline.

The operator also reported a pressure drop in both Nord Stream lines.

Sources in the German newspaper Tagesspiegel cited targeted sabotage as the alleged cause of the incident.

The European Commission is already studying the possible consequences of leaks.
