There are technical possibilities for restoring the infrastructure of the Nord Stream pipelines, a Russian official said on Sunday.
“Of course, there are technical possibilities to restore the infrastructure, it takes time and appropriate resources. I am sure that appropriate opportunities will be found,” Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said during an interview with Russian state media Russia 1 TV on Sunday.
His comments follow the discovery of four leaks in the Nord Stream pipelines earlier this week near the Danish island of Bornholm in the Baltic Sea.
Western leaders called the incident a deliberate act and promised a strong response. The cause of the incident has not yet been confirmed.
According to Novak, the countries that have negatively positioned themselves in relation to the Nord Stream project, the United States, Ukraine and Poland, are interested in decommissioning the pipelines.
Novak said that “it is necessary first of all to find out who did this, and we are sure that some countries that have previously expressed their positions are interested in this.”
On Friday (30), Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed that “Anglo-Saxons” were to blame for the explosions that damaged the Nord Stream gas pipelines.
