news of the day

Russia strongly denies the sabotage of Nord Stream gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea.

It is "stupid and absurd" to suspect Moscow of being behind the massive leaks detected after explosions hit Nord Stream, the Kremlin has said, while Europeans denounce "sabotage".

"It was quite predictable" that some would blame Russia, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.

"Predictable, stupid and nonsensical," he added, saying the leaks affecting Nord Stream 1 and 2 were "problematic" for Moscow because the Russian gas leaking out "is very expensive."
