He did not assess the credibility of Western media reports about the involvement of a pro-Ukrainian group in blowing up pipelines.

“But I will say that if Nord Stream ceases to exist and it will not be possible to supply gas to Europe through it, then it will be beneficial for Europe, it will be useful,” TASS quotes him.

The Polish president claims that "Russia has used gas as a tool to dominate Europe."

On March 7, The New York Times published an article stating that “new intelligence” indicates the involvement of a certain “pro-Ukrainian group” in undermining the Nord Stream in the Baltic Sea.

The US National Security Council (NSC) later said it could not confirm The New York Times' reports of a pro-Ukrainian group allegedly involved in the Nord Stream bombing.

Press Secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov expressed the opinion that the publications about the terrorist attacks on the Nord Streams are a coordinated stuffing.

Prior to this, the well-known American journalist Seymour Hersh published an investigation into the US involvement in the Nord Stream incident.
