Russian President Vladimir Putin accused the United States and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) of the explosions of the Nord Stream pipelines, which cut off a major route for Russian gas exports to Europe, fueling geopolitical tensions.
Russia has requested a meeting of the UN Security Council (UNSC) on July 11 to discuss last September's explosions on the Nord Stream gas pipelines, as per a senior Russian diplomat at the United Nations, Al Jazeera reported.
"We believe that everyone should be interested in an objective investigation involving all interested parties, all those who can shed light on the customers and perpetrators of this terrorist act," said Peskov in a press briefing in Moscow when asked what steps Moscow plans to take further.
