The location of the leak on the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline. File photoMOSCOW, 2 Oct. The United States or Great Britain could have attacked the Russian gas pipelines Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2, Douglas McGregor, a retired American colonel and former senior adviser to the head of the Pentagon, said on the Youtube channel Judging Freedom.
& #34;We need to look at which government agencies had the opportunity to do this. And this is the Royal Navy, the United States Navy. I think it's pretty obvious",» he said.
As the colonel explained, the gas pipeline pipes are unusually strong due to their design, so hundreds of kilograms of TNT had to be used to damage them. In addition, he pointed out the absurdity of the accusations against Russia. McGregor recalled Moscow's high income from energy exports. The destruction of the Nord Streams is also unprofitable for Germany, which was interested in the flow of Russian gas.»Cry or scream.» Vučić responded to explosions at Nord Stream According to Nord Stream AG, the operating company, the accident is unprecedented and it is impossible to estimate the repair time. The Seismic Center of Sweden recorded powerful underwater explosions in the area of the leaks. The German and Danish authorities do not rule out that sabotage was the cause of the emergency. Earlier, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, said that NATO had conducted exercises using deep-water equipment in the area where the Nord Stream incidents occurred. The Kremlin called the incident an act of international terrorism. According to President Vladimir Putin, “sanctions are not enough for the Anglo-Saxons,” they began to destroy the pan-European energy infrastructure. The work of the Nord Stream was suspended from the end of August due to problems with the repair of Siemens turbines after the introduction of anti-Russian sanctions, but the pipeline remained filled with gas . Nord Stream 2, completed last year but never put into operation, was also already filled with blue fuel. : Investigation of the emergency at Nord Stream cannot take place without Russia
