The Kremlin on Thursday backed a post by the United States investigative journalist Seymour Hersh that alleges the United States lagged the sabotage of the Nord Stream gas pipelines, saying it must be taken seriously.The self-published article claimed that the United States Navy assisted Norway plant explosives on the pipelines running under the Baltic Sea in between Russia and Germany.Both Washington and Oslo rejected the claims.Kremlin representative Dmitry Peskov said it was a very severe short article that had a deep analysis.
It would be unjust not to offer it attention, he said.
Unfortunately, the post was not commonly disseminated in the Western media, which can not however cause our surprise.
Peskov said Moscow knew on the participation of the Anglo-Saxons in the organization of this act of sabotage, a claim Russia has actually made consistently but without offering any proof publicly.Western countries have actually blamed the September pipeline surges on Russia, but Moscow has actually accused the West of sabotage.Hersh, an 85-year-old veteran investigative journalist, has in current years been accused of spreading conspiracy theories.
