“It won’t help us if, on the basis of such investigations, which, of course, were carefully and diligently prepared, to think about what consequences this could have for supporting Ukraine,” he said on the air of the Deutschlandfunk radio station, his words are quoted by TASS.
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 publication noted that any involvement of Ukraine in undermining the Nord Streams will have serious consequences for the coalition supporting Kyiv in the confrontation with Russia.
At the same time, American journalist Seymour Hersh previously published an investigation into the US involvement in the Nord Stream incident.
The Hersh investigation alleges that US divers mined Nord Stream under the cover of the BALTOPS 22 exercise, which took place in the Baltic Sea from June 5 to June 17, 2022.
Press Secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov said that the NYT publications are a coordinated stuffing.
