“What we heard from Moscow, from the Kremlin is a lie, pure disinformation that the US is behind this,” State Department spokesman Ned Price said during a briefing.
He noted that the explosions did not occur on US soil, so the US will leave the decision on the investigation to the countries where the incidents occurred.
Russia requested a meeting of the UN Security Council on February 22 in connection with the emergence of new information about the explosion of the Nord Stream pipelines.
American investigative journalist, Pulitzer Prize winner Seymour Hersh said that US Navy divers planted explosives under Nord Stream.
In his article, he wrote that the pipelines were mined during the NATO exercises Baltops 22 using remotely activated devices.
The White House and the CIA, in response to a request for comment, called this information "lies" and "fiction."
