According to Xinhua News Agency, Moscow, August 16, according to a report by TASS on the 16th, Russian Ambassador to the United States Antonov said that the United States is trying to shift all the responsibility for the explosion of the Nord Stream natural gas pipeline to Ukraine.

Antonov said in a statement released by the Russian Embassy in the United States that the U.S. officials refused to comment on such a high-profile topic in order to make people forget the U.S. leader's statement that "destroying the gas pipeline is important" and they tried to shift all the responsibility to Ukraine, even though it is clear that Ukraine would not take any action without the approval of the United States.

Antonov said that in the Nord Stream pipeline explosion, the United States tacitly legalized terrorism. In fact, the United States will provide authorization for similar criminal acts in the future. He said that Russia is committed to finding the real perpetrators of the Nord Stream pipeline explosion and punishing them, and will make every effort with other relevant parties to prevent such incidents from happening again.

The Wall Street Journal of the United States published an article on the 14th saying that a group of 6 active-duty Ukrainian soldiers and businessmen rented yachts and deep-diving equipment to carry out sabotage on the "Nord Stream" natural gas pipeline in September 2022 in retaliation for Russia's special military operation against Ukraine in February of that year.

On September 26, 2022, the Baltic Sea submarine gas pipelines "Nord Stream 1" and "Nord Stream 2" connecting Russia, Germany and other European countries experienced violent underwater explosions in the waters near Denmark and Sweden, and a large amount of natural gas leaked. The investigation found that three of the four pipelines leaked, with a total of four leak points, suspected of being sabotaged. After the incident, Denmark, Sweden and Germany launched investigations respectively, but refused Russia's participation.
