According to the deputy, the explosion on gas pipelines can be considered a deliberate terrorist attack on the critical infrastructure of Europe.

“Has the EU become so submissive to the US empire that you can’t even ask them if they did it,” RIA Novosti quoted Wallace as saying.

He called the EU "a laughingstock" because of this.

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.

The White House and the CIA called this information "lies" and "fiction."
