It should be noted that any deliberate damage to Europe’s energy infrastructure is absolutely unacceptable and will have a strong and unanimous response.

Gas leaks on the pipeline “Nord Stream”resulting from the explosion, are the result of deliberate actions and will have a decisive answer.

“Safety and environmental issues have top priority. These incidents are no coincidence and affect us all,” the statement said.
“All available information indicates that these leaks are the result of deliberate action. We will support an appropriate investigation to establish full clarity on what happened and why, and we will take further steps to increase our energy security resilience,” he said. added Borrell.

Gas leak:
On September 26, 2022, the operating company Nord Stream announced that the throughput in both strings of the pipeline “Nord Stream” dropped to zero due to a sharp drop in pressure.
At night, the pressure also decreased in the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, which runs along the Nord Stream along the bottom of the Baltic Sea.
The management company Nord Stream 2 AG said in a statement that the cause of the problem was a hole in the pipe.
The incident took place in the Danish Exclusive Economic Zone south-east of Bornholm Island.
Gazprom said oil leaks were found on parts of the pipeline’s compressor and that the equipment needed to be shut down until the leak was repaired.
But Siemens Energy, which regularly maintains Nord Stream 1 turbines, said such an oil spill shouldn’t close the pipeline.
“Such leaks usually do not affect turbine operation and can be repaired on site. This is a common procedure as part of the repair work,” said Siemens Energy.
The Russian gas company Gazprom announced it on the evening of 2 September point pumping gas through the Nord Stream pipeline for an indefinite period.
