According to the latest Nord Stream news from TASS, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) said that Western countries are trying to manipulate the results of the two-year investigation into the pipeline sabotage.
"Two years have passed, and Western countries have not only failed to conduct an investigation, but have also tried to fabricate the results of the investigation," SVR stressed.
The statement added: "The Russian intelligence agency SVR continues to collect information about the circumstances of the series of explosions in the Baltic Sea on September 26, 2022. New details are constantly emerging, confirming the thesis stated by the agency's director Sergey Naryshkin about the involvement of the Anglo-Saxons in the above-mentioned incidents. The available intelligence clearly indicates that the attack on the pipeline was an act of international terrorism and economic warfare by the Anglo-Saxons against their European allies, primarily Germany."
The SVR has information about the decision taken by the West to create a disinformation campaign on the eve of the anniversary of the Nord Stream attack, emphasizing that the attack was carried out solely by Ukrainian extremists and acted independently, the statement said.
"Although this version has not been criticized, it is the version that has been imposed on German investigative agencies as the main version. They have been given an ultimatum to quickly complete the investigation by the end of the year, attributing the attack to "Russian-hating Ukrainian adventurers" - the SVR said.
According to the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, although the West is trying to remove the Nord Stream pipeline sabotage from the international information agenda, there are still politicians and independent experts in Western countries who want to know the truth about what happened.
"The terrorist attack on the Nord Stream pipeline has caused irreparable damage to the European economy. In this regard, the Russian SVR demands an objective investigation," the statement concluded.
Also related to the Nord Stream incident, Chairman of the Russian State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin said that all those behind the sabotage of Nord Stream must be held responsible.
"I believe that the initiators and perpetrators of the Nord Stream sabotage must be held responsible. There is no statute of limitations here," TASS quoted the Chairman of the Russian State Duma Volodin as saying.
The Russian politician noted that two years have passed since the attacks on the Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines. The investigations into the Nord Stream by Germany, Denmark and Sweden have not yet yielded results, while the investigations by Denmark and Sweden have both ended.
"They cannot blame some pro-Ukrainian groups and civilian divers. We do not trust such investigations," Volodin stressed.
According to him, in the Nord Stream sabotage, "Germany is the country that suffered the most - the economy fell into recession, GDP fell, the production model was broken and the number of bankruptcies in the country reached a record high in the past few years".
