Denmark refusing to engage on Nord Stream probe – Moscow
Copenhagen has rejected all contact regarding the investigation, the Russian ambassador has warned | Denmark is setting a dangerous precedent by refusing to cooperate with Russia on an investigation into the sabotage of the Nord Stream gas pipelines, Moscow’s ambassador to Copenhagen, Vladimir Barbin, warned on Monday. ● “There is still no substantive information about investigative activities and any preliminary results,” Barbin told the Izvestia newspaper. The envoy added that Copenhagen has “rejected any contact with Russia regarding this criminal case, and doesn’t show any interest in organizing an independent international investigation.” ● The pipelines built to deliver gas from Russia to Germany through the Baltic Sea were attacked in September 2022. Although the damage was discovered in international waters, the area is within the economic zones of Denmark and Sweden. Denmark, Sweden, and Germany have launched separate probes into the sabotage, but no concrete findings have been revealed so far.
