The Swedish Armed Forces, the Coast Guard, Säpo and the Military Intelligence and Security Service (Must) participated in the meeting.

- The transitional government and the relevant authorities continue to work under high pressure to find out what has happened and what the consequences are, so that we can continue to take the necessary measures, says Ann Linde.

Not sure who is responsible

Ann Linde says that the assessment is that Sweden is in the most serious security policy situation since the early 1980s.

- The detonations in Nord Stream 1 and 2 must of course also be seen in the light of the deteriorating security policy situation in Europe and in our immediate area, says Ann Linde.

A preliminary investigation into serious sabotage surrounding the leaks, which occurred in the Swedish and Danish economic zones, is ongoing, and the suspected crime scene has been cordoned off.

- At present, we cannot ensure which actor is responsible, says Linde and at the same time emphasizes that the suspected sabotage should not be seen as a military threat to Sweden.

To be taken up at the EU meeting

Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson (S) says she will address the leaks at the European Council's informal meeting in Prague on Friday.

- It is important that this issue is handled among the EU countries because it is about Europe's energy supply, she says.

The situation will also be discussed at a NATO meeting next week, according to Defense Minister Peter Hultqvist (S).

Rejects Russian claim

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Vershinin said on Wednesday that Russian authorities should be represented in the investigation of the suspected sabotage.

However, his demands are dismissed by Minister of Justice Morgan Johansson (S).

- What we are doing here is a normal preliminary investigation within the framework of the Swedish regulations.

It is surrounded by strict preliminary investigation secrecy and I think it is inappropriate to let additional actors into the preliminary investigation, says Johansson.
