DORTMUND, /Germany/, September 6. /TASS/. Russia’s ambassador to Germany, Sergey Nechayev, has emphasized the importance of thoroughly completing the investigation into the explosions of the Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 pipelines. He warned that failure to identify and hold accountable all those involved would set a troubling precedent for the future.
"If this crime - the explosion of Nord Stream - is not fully resolved and the perpetrators, including those who ordered it, are not identified, it could establish an undesirable precedent," Nechayev stated. He reiterated Russia’s insistence that the investigation be concluded comprehensively and transparently.
Referring to the numerous media reports speculating about private divers, Nechayev dismissed these versions as unconvincing. "We are eager to see official results of the investigation, properly documented and made public. This transparency is crucial," he stressed. He also noted that many in Germany understand the significance of this matter.
Nechayev pointed out that such developments impact broader issues, including energy cooperation with Russia. He highlighted that the ongoing uncertainty hampers efforts to restore relations, which in turn causes socio-economic harm to Germany.
