"German insurers Allianz and Munich Re have resumed insurance of the damaged Nord Stream gas pipeline, controlled by Russia," the article says.

It is noted that this information was confirmed by five sources.

According to one of the sources, the insurance policy covers the damage caused to the pipeline, and the issues of stopping the business.

As specified, the availability of insurance would also facilitate any repair work necessary to resume gas supplies.

Earlier, American journalist Seymour Hersh published an investigation into the involvement of the United States 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.

The Russian Embassy in Washington said that the US authorities are trying to do everything in order to prevent an independent investigation into the bombing of Nord Streams.
