Nord Stream back to headlines with Russian Accusations To Sweden

In 2022, leaks were spotted in the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines, presumably caused by explosions that Sweden investigated to later conclude it was likely the result of serious sabotage, and now Russia is complaining that Sweden is hiding something and unwilling to share its investigation’s findings.

Russia accused the UK Navy of being involved in the explosions that put the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines out of operation. Sweden refused to share information about the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines and Moscow considers this situation as “puzzling”.

Traces of explosive materials were found near the sites of the explosions at the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea, Sweden said in November, noting that the incident is “gross sabotage.”
