Girenko: Washington must prove that it was not involved in bombing North Stream pipelines before accusing others

Russia believes the explosions at the Nord Stream pipelines were attacks by international terrorists, and that the United States should try to prove that it was not involved in the destruction of gas pipelines,  Igor Girenko, a spokesman for the Russian embassy in the US, said in a statement on Wednesday.

“We qualify the incident as an act of international terrorism that requires a comprehensive and independent investigation,” the statement said. “It wouldn’t hurt if the US, which claims the monopoly on the truth, shifted from empty accusations directed at us to the matter at hand and at least try to prove it wasn’t involved in the destruction of the gas pipelines.”
