Moscow confirmed that the Europeans would be "surprised" when they learned the "reality" of the explosions that last month caused a leak from Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines to transport 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 war in Ukraine, and against the background of energy tensions between Russia and the European Union.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed that his country was working "intensively" to include it in the investigation.

"There is work being done through diplomatic channels," he added.

"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," Peskov said, without elaborating.

"Neither the Germans, nor the Swedes, nor the Danes share information with us," he added.

Peskov had said the day before yesterday that the European investigation was "organised" to hold Russia responsible.

Russian President Vladimir Putin considered what happened "international terrorism" in the interest of the United States, Poland, as well as Ukraine, while the Russian diplomat called on US President Joe Biden to reveal whether his country was responsible for what happened.

It is noteworthy that the Swedish newspaper Expressen reported a few days ago that part of the Nord Stream line with a length of 50 meters appears to be missing.

The Swedish newspaper filmed the gas line under the water using an underwater drone.

The video focused on the damage to Nord Stream 1 outside the territorial waters of Sweden, where a 2.3-magnitude explosion occurred three weeks ago.
