This was stated by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova.

“I wonder who allows such leaks, filling the information space with them?

Answer: those who do not want to conduct an investigation in the legal field, and are going to divert the attention of the audience from the facts in every possible way, ”she wrote in her Telegram channel.

According to Zakharova, instead of leaks, the Western regimes involved in the incident should respond to official Russian requests and take into consideration the materials of the journalistic investigation of the American journalist Seymour Hersh, “without replacing them with anonymous throw-ins.”

According to Dmitry Polyansky, First Deputy Permanent Representative of Russia to the UN, an article in The New York Times about the involvement of a pro-Ukrainian group in sabotage at Nord Stream confirms the need for a UN investigation.
