Recall that Pulitzer Prize winner Seymour Hersh published his own investigation into the incidents at Nord Stream. According to him, transtrunk gas pipelines were mined by divers from the United States. In an exclusive interview on RT, Hersh emphasized that US President Joe Biden is lying and hushed up the truth about the incident.

The day before, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev said in an interview with RT that the United States should compensate the Russian Federation for the damage for undermining the Nord Streams. "Although it is still possible to talk about evidence there. This process is not yet complete, and this page is not closed. In any case, they reject it, although their arguments look rather frivolous," he stressed.
