According to TASS, the fact of permission was confirmed by the director of the Danish Geodata Agency Pia Dal Hoygård.

According to Danish Radio, Denmark and Sweden concluded that the gas pipelines were blown up, but it is not possible to name those who were behind the sabotage.

On November 1, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said that Russia had begun to study the causes of the explosions at Nord Stream.

Prior to this, the founder of Megaupload and Mega file hosting, Kim Schmitz, wrote on Twitter that former British Prime Minister Liz Truss allegedly could send a message to US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken after the emergency at Nord Stream with the text It's done ("It's over with him").

The Russian Defense Ministry claims that representatives of the British Navy took part in the planning and implementation of a terrorist attack in the Baltic Sea on September 26 to undermine gas pipelines.
