Denmark has actually dropped its examination into the surge that burst the Nord Stream gas pipeline in September 2022 due to the absence of proof to pursue a criminal case.
Bloomberg reports that Danish intelligence and Copenhagen authorities concluded there was “purposeful sabotage of the gas pipelines” however that there were no “adequate premises to pursue a criminal case” in a joint declaration Monday.
This choice, which they stated was “both complex and thorough” and included cooperation from “pertinent foreign partners,” follows its nearby nation, Sweden, dropped its initial examination previously in February after discovering the attack did not include Sweden or its people.
Kremlin representative Dmitry Peskov called the declaration from Danish authorities “borderline unreasonable.”
“On the one hand, there is an admission that intentional sabotage happened, however on the other, there is no more development,” he stated.
The pipeline was the primary source for carrying Russian gas to Germany by means of the Baltic Sea. It provided 55 billion cubic meters of gas every year at peak capability.
The surge harmed both strings of Nord Stream 1 and 2 strings of Nord Stream 2 near the island of Bornholm in Eastern Denmark.
An examination into the surge still stays open in Germany.
