This was stated by the head of the Austrian Ministry of Defense Claudia Tanner.
“Here I share the opinion of my German colleagues that you first need to check for sure what is behind this,” RIA Novosti quotes her.
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.
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.
He expressed bewilderment that US officials could assume anything about these attacks without investigation.
The Russian embassy in the United States said that the leaks in the American media are an attempt to confuse those who are sincerely trying to understand this issue.
At the same time, American journalist Seymour Hersh previously published an investigation into the US involvement in the Nord Stream incident.
His investigation alleges that US divers mined Nord Stream under the guise of the BALTOPS 22 exercise, which took place in the Baltic Sea from June 5 to 17, 2022.
