Press Secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov called “predictably stupid and absurd” assumptions about Russia’s involvement in the emergency on the “northern stream” and “Northern Stream-2”. His statements are commented by the Russian media.
According to Peskov, half of the gas was already planned for the “internal balance” of the country. Due to problems with gas pipelines, Russia lost supplies, and the American suppliers of liquefied gas only grow profits, says Peskov, calling for the investigation and official information from Denmark and Sweden.
The Kremlin representative called the emergency “big problem” for Russia. He recalled that both Nord Stream-2 threads were filled with gas, all systems were ready for pumping, and “this gas is very expensive.” Russia suffers losses from accidents in the “northern streams”, said Peskov.
to the question of who will engage in the repair of gas pipelines, the Kremlin representative replied: “If I am not mistaken, until we understand what to repair. How can you predict the repair, if we do not understand what to repair? We do not understand what happened there “.
September 26 in the North Stream and Northern Stream-2, pressure dropped sharply. Denmark revealed a “huge” leak in the gas pipeline. Sweden said that the cause was explosions. The Nord Stream AG project operator claims that damage is unprecedented. European countries admitted that the incidents were intentional, do not exclude sabotage. The Kremlin also admits such a version. Nobody still took responsibility for the attack. Against the background of an emergency, the price of gas in Europe began to grow again.
