In response to the episodes of gas leaks in the Nord Stream pipeline, the United States increased the pricing and sales of liquefied natural gas, according to Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov today, Monday.
The Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 pipelines in the Baltic Sea off the shores of Denmark and Sweden were found to have four gas leaks last month. Last week, Russian President Vladimir Putin accused the United States and its allies of blowing up the pipelines, a charge that the White House disputed.
With the failure of these gas pipelines, “there is a party, or a party, that will be able to sell more LNG at a higher price, and this party is known, it is the United States,” Peskov added.
Peskov said: “There are also countries that have the military technical capacity to carry out these sabotage operations, albeit he did not say who the Kremlin suspected to be behind the spills.
The disruption of the gas infrastructure would not be in the interests of European nations as gas consumers and Russia as its suppliers, according to the Kremlin.
The Nord Stream gas pipes may be repaired theoretically, according to a senior Russian official, but Peskov stressed on Monday that seafloor studies were necessary first.
The Kremlin: Following the Nord Stream breach, America increased gas prices and sales.
