German authorities do not consider the Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 pipelines as a legitimate target and consider undermining them a crime.
German government spokesman Steffen Hebeestreit made this statement on Monday, 26 August.
‘Over the past months, Federal Chancellor (Germany’s Olaf Scholz. – RT) has clearly expressed his position in negotiations with the Polish and Czech side, as well as many other foreign partners: this is a crime that must be investigated,’ RIA Novosti quoted Hebeestreit as saying.
Earlier, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov expressed confidence in US involvement in the undermining of the JVP.
