The Russian Federation has officially filed pre-trial lawsuits against Germany, Denmark, Sweden and Switzerland as part of the investigation into the Nord Stream explosions.
This was stated to the RIA Novosti agency by the official representative of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Maria Zakharova. He explained that the claims were submitted on the basis of the International Convention for the Suppression of Terrorist Bombings of 1997 and the International Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism of 1999.
The speaker admitted that the list of surveyed states is not final and could soon be expanded. And if the issue is not resolved before the trial, Moscow will appeal to the International Court of Justice.
“Denmark and Sweden, in whose exclusive economic zones explosions occurred, quickly closed their investigations without publishing the results. According to his statement, the results of the investigation were transferred to Germany.” – says the statement.
The diplomat described the gas pipeline explosions as “a flagrant act of international terrorism,” which falls within a series of international treaties that obligate them to prevent and investigate such incidents.
“Unfortunately, we see that these obligations are not being met, despite repeated calls from the Russian Federation,” – Zakharova complained.
Recall that the explosions in Nord Stream and in the decommissioned Nord Stream 2 occurred on September 26, 2022. In February 2024, Sweden and Denmark announced the closure of the investigation.
Previously EADaily published material about who really blew up Nord Stream.
