ULAN-UDE, March 14. /TASS/. The terrorist act at Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 pipelines was committed at the government level, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday.

"It is not a secret anymore for anyone that this was the terrorist act. In my opinion, everybody recognized that already. The terrorist act, absolutely obviously, was committed at the state level because no amateurs are able to commit such actions," the head of state said.

"It is very difficult for us to deal with our own investigation if we are not allowed to visit the scene of this terrorist act," Putin said, answering the question whether Russia continues its investigation of the sabotage act.
