Russia eyes Berlin's move after Denmark suspends Nord Stream probe

Kremlin's spokesperson says Copenhagen decided to close the investigation because it "simply led" to "its closest" allies.

Denmark announced on Monday suspending investigations into the September 2022 sabotage of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, almost two weeks after Sweden said it had ended the probe into the case.

Copenhagen determined that it was an act of willful sabotage, but said there is no "sufficient grounds to pursue a criminal case in Denmark." Meanwhile, Sweden concluded that the case does not fall under its jurisdiction, despite earlier saying it suspected an unknown state actor to be behind the event.

Now with Germany being the only country still investigating the incident, Russia said it will be observing Germany's decision on the matter.

"Of course, we will observe, if there are any opportunities to get information, we will use these opportunities, but so far it is a rather paradoxical situation," Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said on Monday.

Talking to reporters, Peskov said that Denmark's decision was due to the investigation leading to Copenhagen's closest allies, referring mainly to US and Ukraine.

"Taking into account everything, various information leaks, a whole set of facts that became known in the course of this investigation, it is obvious that everything is quite clear, and it is obvious that this investigation simply led [Denmark], as they say, to its closest allies," he added.

Following the blast, Russia requested to take part in the investigations with the three countries, calling on them to provide information on their findings. But Moscow was faced with refusals.
