Russia: The "reality" of the leak in Nord Stream lines will "surprise" the Europeans
The Kremlin said on Friday that the Europeans would be "surprised" when they learned the "reality" of the explosions that last month caused the leakage of Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines transporting Russian gas to Europe.
Russia has repeatedly called for its participation in the international investigation into this leak, which occurred at the height of the conflict in Ukraine, and against the background of energy friction between Russia and the European Union.
On October 12, Russian President Vladimir Putin considered what happened "international terrorism" in the interest of the United States, Poland, as well as Ukraine, while Russian diplomacy called on US President Joe Biden to reveal whether his country was responsible for what happened.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed Friday that Moscow was working "intensively" to include it in the investigation.
And he had previously considered that this investigation was "arranged" to hold Russia responsible.
"There is work that is being done through diplomatic channels," he told reporters.
And he added, "But so far, (this matter) has run into a wall of reluctance to work together to reveal the truth that will surprise more than one party in European countries if it is announced," without giving additional details.
"Neither the Germans, nor the Swedes, nor the Danes share information with us," he added.
