This was stated by Deputy Spokesperson of the UN Secretary General Farhan Haq.
“Definitely, this should be investigated by various competent authorities,” RIA Novosti quotes him.
Asked for comment on the NYT's report that a pro-Ukrainian group may have been involved in the sabotage, the spokesman said the organization did not have any first-hand information about the latest allegations.
Earlier, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that the alliance does not know who blew up the Nord Stream gas pipelines, but the sabotage confirms the need to protect the alliance's critical underwater infrastructure.
According to the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, the US and Britain are using the method of controlled leaks in the case around the “investigation” of the terrorist attacks on the Nord Stream, as has happened many times before.
According to the press secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov, the shareholders of Nord Stream should insist on a transparent investigation.
He noted that the Russian side is still not allowed before the investigation.
