Russia will insist on its participation in a full and transparent investigation into the sabotage of the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines and will not allow the truth of what happened to be swept under the rug.

This is stated in a written statement of the Russian embassy in Washington, published on Wednesday, TASS reported, quoted by BNR.

"We paid attention to the investigation of the publication of the "Washington Post" about the terrorist attack on the international gas pipelines "Nord Stream". Thus, the journalists, unlike the local authorities, who "suddenly" abandoned megaphone diplomacy and speculation in their favorite style, with a high degree of are likely trying to get to the truth about the unprecedented attack on pipeline infrastructure carried out in the Baltic Sea. We cannot help but welcome such a desire," noted Russian diplomats.

"We emphasize that our country will not allow the inconvenient truth about what happened to Nord Stream to be swept under the carpet. We will continue to insist on a comprehensive and transparent investigation with Russian participation," the embassy said.

Russian diplomats pointed out that "the result of the reporters' investigation is not very convenient for those who like to demonize Russia at every opportunity."

“After three months of data collection, to the dismay of our detractors, no evidence of the infamous Russian meddling was found.

Against this background, the complete silence of the US administration is very eloquent," the commentary noted.
