The diplomat stressed that neither Wallace, as the Minister of Defense, nor the United Kingdom as a whole, have anything to do with Nord Stream 2 - the gas pipeline is not located either in the territorial waters or in the economic zone of Great Britain.
“The country does not receive gas from there.
Therefore, in general, these are statements into the void, statements are not substantiated by anything, ”TASS quotes Kelin.
Earlier, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said that the Russian side should take part in the investigation of accidents at the Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines.
He also noted that Poland, the United States and Ukraine may be interested in accidents on the Nord Stream gas pipelines.
Ben Wallace, in an interview with The Telegraph, said that he opposed Russia's participation in the investigation of the explosions on the Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines.
