“The Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation has taken measures in connection with actions against the Russian gas pipelines Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2,” the agency said in a Telegram message.

It is noted that a criminal case was initiated in connection with the presence of signs of a crime under part 1 of article 361 of the Criminal Code of Russia (an act of international terrorism).

Press Secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov earlier recalled that in February, US President Joe Biden promised to get rid of Nord Stream 2.

According to Swedish Foreign Minister Ann Linde, the incidents with gas leakage occurred as a result of explosions.

The locations of physical damage to both Nord Stream lines have been identified and are located in the exclusive economic zone of Denmark and Sweden.

It is impossible to estimate the timing of the resumption of the operation of the gas pipeline.
