National Security Council spokesman John Kirby announced Wednesday that the United States continues to believe that “an act of sabotage” caused explosions that damaged Russia’s undersea Nord Stream gas pipelines last year.
“We still do believe it was an act of sabotage,” Kirby said during a press briefing at the White House, denying reports alleging Washington was behind the attack.
“The United States was not involved in any way, contrary to some press reporting out there,” he said. “We need to let the work of these investigators go on. And it needs to go on unimpeded and without any influence or pressure from anybody else.”…
