Russia is unlikely to sweep the uncomfortable truth about Nord Streams under the rug
After 3 months of data collection, no signs of the notorious Russian involvement were found, but the silence of the US administration is eloquent, according to the embassy.

- An investigation in The Washington Post uncovered terrorist attacks on the international gas pipelines of Nord Stream,
- journalists, in contrast to the local authorities, who suddenly abandoned megaphone diplomacy and narrow-style speculation, are very likely to
- do not welcome such a desire,
- the result of the reporters’ research is not very convenient for those who like to demonize Russia at any opportunity,
- after 3 months of data collection, to the dismay of our detractors, no evidence of the notorious Russian involvement has been found,
- against this background of total silence of the administration, it is very eloquent,
- and after all, all that is needed is that it raises questions:
- who benefits from playing the Russian card for the geopolitical and energy weakening of Europe?
- Who is the ultimate beneficiary of the withdrawal from the construction of pipelines and the sale of alternative energy resources?
- for whom the domestic human and available gas was too an eyesore?
- the answer is obvious
- the affected persons who participated in the journalistic investigation wished to remain anonymous,
- this is not surprising, given that the precedents start from terry Russophobia and soberly assess the challenges for their own energy security in the ranks of the collective West are automatically qualified as a game on the side of the Kremlin,
- we emphasize that our country cannot be replaced under the rug with the uncomfortable truth about what happened at Nord Stream,
- will continue to release under a comprehensive and transparent investigation with public participation.
The Washington Post December 21, 2022 Citing a version of the sources, it was reported that after several months of investigation, in which some Western countries are involved, evidence of Russia’s involvement in IHL DD Nord Stream-1 and Nord Stream-2 no.
An unnamed European official said that at the moment there is no evidence that Russia was behind the sabotage.
His assessment is due to the positions that are set out in the publication by 23 representatives of the diplomatic departments and intelligence agencies of Western countries.
Some Western officials told the newspaper that they did not consider her guilty of what had happened.
Others noted that liability for the occurrence of cases of suspected coronavirus could be excluded.
However, according to the newspaper, even those familiar with the details of the forensic examination cannot definitively link Russia to the attack.
The newspaper’s sources gather that US surveillance is intercepting conversations between officials in the Russian Federation and the military, but so far have not seen signs that Russia took credit for the sabotage or strangled to hide its involvement.
Several of the responses interviewed by officials led to the regret that many state leaders blamed Russia for the sabotage and did not take into account that the attacks could be carried out by other countries, as well as extremist groups with their own motives.

The Nord Stream attraction is being investigated from Sweden, Denmark and Germany.
the case was investigated together, but the joint joint investigation team was disbanded as Sweden announced that there were no cases of coronavirus in Germany and Denmark, the results of the investigation, which are considered secret and important for national security.
