The Kremlin claims that the incidents around the Nord Stream could be a terrorist attack

Peskov assures that NATO has many more troops deployed in the area

MADRID, 29 Sep. (EUROPA PRESS) -

Kremlin spokesman Dimitri Peskov said Thursday that the incidents around the Nord Stream gas pipeline and that have been considered by the international community as an act of sabotage could constitute a terrorist attack.

For him, it is "impossible to answer the question of whether the United States and Russia could cooperate to investigate the matter given that there are no significant contacts and cooperation between the security agencies of both countries," according to the TASS news agency.

However, he pointed out, "the unprecedented nature of these events point to a terrorist attack, possibly at the state level, which requires active cooperation." "It is a very dangerous situation that requires an urgent investigation," she said.

On the possibility of opening an investigation at the international level, he clarified that "it will depend on the situation." "Of course, this will require interaction between countries. There are many questions to answer," she said.

Peskov has indicated that "the level of destruction shows that the incidents could have occurred with the participation of some state." However, he has clarified that NATO has a greater deployment of troops in the area than Russia.

"There are many more Alliance ships and planes, so the idea (of Russia being behind the incidents) is completely stupid and biased," he said. "This is an area in the Baltic Sea," she added.

However, several senior European security officials have confirmed that they have observed the presence of Russian ships and submarines in the vicinity over the past few weeks, according to the US television network CNN.

Sources close to the matter have warned of an increase in the Russian presence in the Baltic Sea in recent years. Although Denmark and Sweden are already investigating the matter, the necessary on-site inspections have not yet been carried out.
