STOCKHOLM, April 28. /TASS/. The Danish authorities have no interest in establishing the truth about explosions at the Nord Stream and Nord Stream-2 gas pipelines as it may jeopardize Western financing of Kiev's military operations against Russia, Russian Ambassador to Denmark Vladimir Barbin said.
"The [Russian] Embassy, for its part, has repeatedly pointed to Denmark's lack of interest in establishing the truth about this incident and making it public," Barbin said in an interview with Denmark’s Jullands-Posten daily commenting on a recently published book by US journalist Bojan Pancevski "The Nord Stream Conspiracy: The Inside Story of the Explosions That Disrupted European Economies."
"Copenhagen is obviously afraid to jeopardize Western sponsorship of Ukraine's military actions against Russia," he continued. "The Danish side was obviously guided by such considerations as it had blocked an independent UN probe and refused to provide Russia with legal assistance in this case."
According to the diplomat, the Danish authorities have halted their own investigation of the crime and are hiding its results from the public, which "contradicts the basic principle of justice about the inevitability of punishment for crimes committed."
