The President said that 30 km from the place of sabotage on the pipelines, a Gazprom ship found a column at another junction of pipes, which could be an antenna for activating an explosive device. 

According to him, in this regard, Moscow would like to obtain permission from the Danish authorities to conduct the necessary investigations.

He believes that such an investigation could be carried out jointly with Denmark, "or rather, by forming an international group of experts and explosives."

“And if necessary, and neutralize the explosive device, if it is there, of course,” TASS quoted Putin.

He added that the Danish authorities gave a "vague answer" to the Russian request, that "they themselves should think about this."

Putin also called the version that the Nord Stream was blown up by Ukrainian activists nonsense.

The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, said that the UN Security Council should urgently adopt a resolution on the creation of an independent commission to investigate the explosions at Nord Stream.

Explosions on the strings of the Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline systems occurred on September 26, 2022, near the Danish island of Bornholm.
