Foreign Ministry: The United States and Germany were caught planting false versions of terrorist attacks on Nord Streams in the media

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

"The worst thing is that they absolutely burned down, throwing it through both American and German publications," RIA Novosti quoted her as saying.

Zakharova noted that the injection of false theories of the state of emergency in the media was necessary for the United States and Germany to distract attention from the investigation of journalist Seymour Hersch.

Earlier, American investigative journalist Seymour Hersh in an interview with RT said that Washington threw a new version of the Nord Streams bombings into the media because the White House knows who staged the explosions and will not investigate these sabotages.

He noted that the US administration knows that the sabotage was arranged on the orders of US President Joe Biden.

Seymour Hersh previously published an investigation into US involvement in the undermining of Nord Streams.

Hersh's investigation claims that Nord Streams were mined by divers from the United States: they operated under the cover of the BALTOPS 22 exercises, which took place in the Baltic Sea from June 5 to June 17, 2022.
