(ANSA-AFP) - MOSCOW, MAY 25 - Russia on Thursday summoned the
envoys of Germany, Sweden and Denmark over Moscow's frustration
with the lack of progress on probes into the sabotaged Nord
Stream gas pipelines. Built to carry Russian gas to Germany, the
pipelines in the Baltic Sea were ruptured by subsea explosives
months after Russian President Vladimir Putin sent troops to
Ukraine in February, 2022. Western countries have blamed the
explosions under the Baltic Sea last September on Russia, but
the Kremlin has accused the West of sabotage. German, Swedish
and Danish authorities have been investigating the blasts that
sparked four leaks. On Thursday, the Russian foreign ministry
said it summoned the envoys and made an official diplomatic
protest over "a complete lack of results of the national
investigations allegedly carried out by the authorities of these
countries". (ANSA-AFP).
