Western countries are attempting to quietly wind down the investigation of terrorist acts at Nord Stream gas pipelines, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Thursday, commenting on the report by US journalist Seymour Hersh that the United States is behind the explosions at the Nord Stream pipelines.

“This report should provoke acceleration of international investigation. On the contrary, we see attempts to silently curtail this international investigation,” the Kremlin Spokesman noted.

Unprecedented explosions were reported on three lines of Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines on September 27. The Russian Office of General Prosecutor opened a case on the act of international terrorism after the damage to gas pipelines.
