BERLIN, July 30. /TASS/. Russian Ambassador to Germany Sergey Nechayev said the Russian side will insist on continuing an investigation into the sabotage of the Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines in order to identify all masterminds and perpetrators.
"We need to find out who did this, and whether this act involved not only top officials from Kiev, but also someone from other countries, because there were reports of foreign countries, who provided Germany with relevant intelligence data," he said, answering to a question from TASS.
"And, secondly, we need to know, who ordered all this, because this knowledge matters to us, and it will determine our next steps in terms of the international law, [namely] who will compensate for the damage caused to us," the diplomat added.
The ambassador went on to say that the Russian side will closely follow the developments.
He added that the fact that "the German prosecutor general’s office admitted that it was not just an accident involving six diving amateurs who somehow managed to plant explosives" was "an important sign by itself."
