Germany did not rule out political conclusions from the investigation of the attacks on Nord Streams

The investigation conducted by German law enforcement agencies into the terrorist attack on the Nord Stream gas pipelines in 2022 may lead to political conclusions. This was announced on August 28 by German Foreign Minister Johann Vadefuhl.

He noted that the authorities had already initiated harassment measures against the suspects. The trial will take place in Germany. At the same time, it will be possible to assess the reliability of the evidence obtained and make a further decision only after the investigation is completed, the minister said.

"We have to wait for the results of these investigations. And as soon as the results are ready, I will be able to evaluate them and, if necessary, draw political conclusions from them," Vadefoul concluded.

As Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov noted on the same day, Russia hopes that the investigation into the terrorist attack on Nord Streams will be completed, and the names of the customers and perpetrators will be revealed.
