BERLIN, September 26. /TASS/. Russian Ambassador to Germany Sergey Nechayev said all of Moscow’s initiatives regarding the investigation into the sabotage of the Nord Stream and Nord Stream-2 gas pipelines were ignored.
"Exactly three years have passed since terrorist acts were committed against the Nord Stream pipelines. For three years, the global community has not been informed about the perpetrators and masterminds of the unprecedented sabotage acts against the largest element of the European gas infrastructure. Western countries, which are usually quick to pronounce baseless ‘guilty’ verdicts against Russia, remain surprisingly slow on the issue, expressing full and unconditional trust in German prosecutors, and urging to let them do their work without hindrance," the ambassador said in a comment.
The Russian diplomat went on to say that Russia, from the very outset, has insisted on an international inquiry into the attack, urging to join forces and let Russian experts take part in the investigation.
"All our initiatives were ignored. Multiple requests for legal assistance remain unanswered. This makes us doubt the objectiveness, impartiality and transparency of the ongoing investigation," the ambassador added.
