“The fact that the gas pipeline belongs to a Russian company makes it clear that its explosion is not beneficial for Russia,” RIA Novosti quotes him as saying on the air of the LCI TV channel.
Trencan called surprising the fact that Germany, Sweden and Denmark conducted investigations, but no results were published.
“And the absence of any conclusions means that it is unprofitable for someone to publish them,” the general said.
Earlier, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that German Ambassador to Russia Geza Andreas von Geyr publicly avoids answering those responsible for sabotage on the Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines.
Seymour Hersh, a Pulitzer Prize-winning author of an investigation into the explosion of gas pipelines, said that the United States has always been the only suspect in this case.
He also said that the United States was studying the possibility of blowing up the Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines even before the start of the special operation in Ukraine.
