“We qualify the incident as an act of international terrorism, requiring a comprehensive and independent investigation,” the diplomatic mission said in a Telegram statement.

It is noted that the United States should move from empty accusations against Russia to the case.

It is also reported that Moscow will not allow this situation to be “rolled up”.

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."
