The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Germany, Annalena Baerbock, has urged not to draw premature conclusions about the explosions at the Nord Streams, based on media information.

"Of course we are very intensely following any new reports and any insights obtained by different actors," The Guardian quotes Baerbock, who is visiting Iraq.

"But the strength of a constitutional democracy is that those official bodies in charge of shedding light on something can carry out their investigations in peace, and that the government can reach a verdict on the basis of their work, rather than prematurely drawing conclusions from [media] reports," added the minister.

Baerbock reminded that Germany's general prosecutor has been in charge of investigating the sabotaging of the Nord Stream pipeline since October 2022. Investigators in Denmark and Sweden had recently told the UN security council that their investigations too had not yet reached a conclusion.

Earlier on Wednesday, Oleksii Reznikov, Defence Minister of Ukraine, denied the involvement of Ukrainian official structures in the explosions on the Russian gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea against the background of publications in the Western press, hinting at a "Ukrainian trail".

As reported, The New York Times published an article with reference to sources and intelligence data, which tend to believe that non-governmental groups, which could include Russians and Ukrainians, are behind the explosion of the Nord Stream gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea.

And according to German media, the investigation in Germany has identified a vessel that was used to sabotage the Russian Nord Stream gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea in the fall of 2022, and believes that it is somehow connected to Ukraine.

The British edition of The Times reported that the name of a Ukrainian private sponsor who allegedly financed the sabotage of Russian gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea was known to Western intelligence circles for months.
