“There really should be an investigation, naturally with the participation of Russia,” he said. Sergei VershininDeputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia, quoted by the Tass and Ria Novosti press agencies.
Last week, four leaks were detected in the gas pipelines connecting Russia and Germany, aggravating the tensions that arose with the Russian invasion in February. The UN Security Council addressed the issue on Friday.
Vershinin said that “the general opinion is that it was sabotage and that it should be investigated” but that “no decision has been made” on the international investigation. On Wednesday last week, Russia launched an investigation into “international terrorism” about the case.
The spokesman of Kremlin, Dmitry Peskov, indicated that such an investigation “requires the cooperation of several countries.” He denounced a “serious lack of communication and unwillingness of many countries to contact” Russia.
Sweden locked down the area around the leaks into the Baltic Sea on Monday while the suspected sabotage was investigated. The Russian President, Vladimir Putinaccused West to be behind the leaks.
The head of the Russian Security Council, Nikolai Patrushevsaid on Wednesday that “it is clear that USA is the beneficiary, mainly economic”, of the leaks. Both Moscow and Washington have denied their involvement.
