BERLIN, September 25. /TASS/. Moscow continues to insist on a transparent investigation into last year’s terrorist attack on the Nord Stream gas pipelines, Russian Ambassador to Germany Sergey Nechayev said.

"The countries looking into the incident have so far been unable to present any specific results," Nechayev said in a statement published on the Russian embassy’s Telegram channel on the eve of the one-year anniversary of the Nord Stream blasts. He pointed out that, "this causes extreme concern and raises legitimate questions about the integrity and impartiality of the ongoing investigation." According to the envoy, "what we have seen so far are numerous speculative assertions and bogus media stories aimed at diverting suspicion from the real culprits and misleading the public."

"We continue to insist that as transparent an investigation as possible be conducted into this terrorist attack on an infrastructure facility, one of the largest in history, which caused the most damage to Germany and Russia. We will do our best - particularly on multilateral platforms - to make sure that the truth is made public," the diplomat emphasized.

Nechayev pointed out that the terrorist attack "caused enormous harm to the environment, leading to huge investor losses and cutting energy ties between Russia and Germany, which for decades had served as a perfect example of mutually beneficial cooperation." "This created a dangerous precedent of a terrorist attack on a critical infrastructure facility, which, if left unpunished, may happen again elsewhere," the Russian ambassador warned.

The Nord Stream AG company reported on September 27, 2022, that three threads of the Nord Stream 1 and 2 offshore gas pipelines had suffered unprecedented damage. Swedish seismologists recorded two explosions along the Nord Stream pipelines on September 26. The Russian Prosecutor General's Office subsequently opened a case into an act of international terrorism.
