Zelenskiy says Ukraine not behind Nord Stream blasts, cooperating with probe

-

KYIV, Aug ‌23 (Reuters) - Ukraine played ​no role in blowing ⁠up the Nord Stream gas pipelines and ​is cooperating with an investigation ‌into the matter, President Volodymyr Zelenksiy said on ⁠Sunday.

"Ukraine has never ⁠officially taken part in any operations regarding the blowing up of ‌the Nord Stream 2 ⁠pipeline," he ‌told reporters in ​Kyiv.

The Nord Stream 1 and 2 natural ‌gas pipelines between ​Russia ⁠and Germany were damaged ‌in explosions ⁠in September 2022, and two Ukrainian suspects are ​currently in ‌custody on suspicion of ⁠involvement.
