Russia Won’t Accept The Outcome Of Nordstream Investigation Unless It Is Involved
Russia is hitting back after Sweden declared they would not share the outcome of the Nordstream investigation into who sabotaged the pipelines. Considering they are Russia’s pipelines, it makes sense Moscow wants answers | The pipeline is owned and operated by Nord Stream AG, whose majority shareholder is the Russian state-owned company Gazprom. It doesn’t make sense that the outcome of the investigation would be withheld from the owner of the pipeline, but this could be a simple way to cover it up or push Russia toward a response. ● So far, Russia is demanding to be a part of the investigation or it is not willing to accept the outcome of Sweden’s investigation. Russia’s foreign ministry revealed on Thursday it had summoned the representatives of Germany, Denmark, and Sweden to convey its “bewilderment” over a lack of official reaction to a request for cooperation sent earlier this month by Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, according to a report by RT.
Sweden explains rejection of joint Nord Stream probe | Stockholm has rejected a plan to set up an official joint investigation team together with Germany and Denmark to look into the explosions that damaged the Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines in late September, Reuters reported, citing a Swedish investigator. Sweden reportedly argued that its own findings are too sensitive to share even with other EU nations.
