MOSCOW. Feb 9 (Interfax) - A report by United States journalist Seymour Hersh regarding the blasts on the Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines calls for an international investigation into this unprecedented attack on critical infrastructure, Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov said.
"Some points [in the article] might be disputed, and some points require proof, but it is remarkable in the depth of its analysis and the consistency of its presentation. It would be at least unfair to disregard it, especially for such a country as Germany, which that terrorist attack deprived of a very important energy asset," Peskov said.
"You know that we have also stated that there's information indicating that Anglo-Saxons were behind the organization of this act of sabotage. You can see some coincidences in this respect. But of course, the publication of such materials shows yet again that there's a need for an open international investigation into this unprecedented attack on critical international infrastructure," Peskov said.
"This can't be left without identifying and punishing those responsible," he said.
