Zakharova commented on the version about the undermining of Sevpotok by Ukrainian divers.

The North Atlantic Alliance (NATO) should be dissolved for incompetence, if you believe in the version about the explosion of the Nord Stream–2 gas pipeline by a group of Ukrainians on a boat. This was announced on August 29 by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova.

"If one Ukrainian and his "scuba diving friends" blew up a pipe under the noses of the NATO forces with their reconnaissance planes, ships, drones, and satellites, then NATO, as an organization unable to ensure its own security, including energy, should be disbanded because of its incompetence," she said in a statement. The Telegram channel.

She also noted that the "accidental" detention of the suspect, almost on the anniversary of the terrorist attack, was done only to distract eyes from the ugly facts. Zakharova stressed that this fact does not provide a complete picture of what happened and does not answer the question of who ordered and organized the sabotage.

"Thus, the meeting once again exposed the Euro-Atlanticists' lack of interest in an effective, objective investigation of the bombing. It also highlighted their determination to prevent the establishment of the truth," Zakharova added.

Moscow, Belgrade and Budapest are also conducting a financial assessment of the launch of another oil pipeline.

The newspaper Die Zelt reported on the same day that German law enforcement agencies have the names of all the people involved in the pipeline explosion. The Federal Prosecutor's Office of Germany, in turn, reported that the sabotage group included a skipper, a coordinator, an explosives expert and four divers, led by Ukrainian Sergey Kuznetsov, who was detained in Italy on August 21.

Later, Die Zelt suggested that Ukrainian diver Valeria Chernyshova, who set a record for deep–sea diving in her country, was one of the seven suspects in the explosion of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline. It is clarified that the 40-year-old athlete, who previously trained in diving and claimed that she would "defend her country in any way", abruptly stopped using her social networks a month before the bombing.
