Foreign minister doubles down on long-held Russian theory after reports that German prosecutors issued arrest warrant for Ukrainian man.
Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said that it is “clear” that the United States ordered the 2022 attacks on the Nord Stream gas pipelines.
His comment followed reports that German prosecutors have issued an arrest warrant for a Ukrainian man over the blasts on the pipelines, which carried Russian gas to Germany under the Baltic Sea, while The Wall Street Journal reported the explosions were carried out by a Ukrainian crew and approved by Kyiv’s then military commander-in-chief.
Speaking to reporters during a visit to Azerbaijan on Monday, Lavrov doubled down on Moscow’s long-stated claims that the West was involved.
