Nord Stream Blast: European Investigators Trying To Cover Up, Says Russia

Russia's foreign ministry has reportedly accused European countries of trying to hide the results of their investigations of the Nord Stream gas pipeline blasts that happened in September last year.
"The investigation is being carried out in such a way that... the remains are literally and figuratively left in the water," Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko said, according to the state-run RIA news agency.

Swedish and other European investigators say the attacks were carried out on purpose without mentioning who was responsible. Russia has blamed the explosions on Western sabotage without providing any evidence.
The blasts being investigated by Swedish and Danish authorities could put three of Nord Stream 1 and 2's four undersea lines permanently out of use, Reuters reported.
Moscow had asked Stockholm to be allowed to join the investigation, but Sweden and Denmark refused.
Preliminary results of the damage site inspection, 'technogenic craters' with a depth of 3 to 5 meters were found on the seabed at a distance of about 248 meters from each other.
The section of the pipe between the craters is destroyed, and the radius of pipe fragments dispersion is at least 250 meters.
Also, a Swedish prosecutor said that the investigation on damaged Nord Stream gas pipelines revealed traces of explosives at the site, confirming sabotage.
