The Russian Ambassador to Copenhagen, Vladimir Barbin, stated that "Danish authorities continue to refuse any cooperation with the Russian side in the investigation of the sabotage of the 'Nord Stream' and show no interest in organizing an independent international investigation." According to the ambassador, "Denmark claims to be investigating the explosions of the gas pipelines 'Nord Stream 1 and 2,' but so far there is no substantial information about the ongoing investigation procedures or any of its interim results." He emphasized that "Russia, relying on international law and existing diplomatic mechanisms, will continue to seek a comprehensive, transparent, and impartial investigation into all aspects of the sabotage of the gas pipelines, including identifying the perpetrators, their sponsors, organizers, and accomplices."
In response to reports indicating that German insurance companies "Allianz" and "Munich Re" renewed insurance on the 'Nord Stream' gas pipeline, the Russian ambassador pointed out that "according to the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, Danish authorities provided Nord Stream AG the opportunity to inspect the gas pipelines, including the damages incurred." He stressed that "it is too early to talk about repairing the gas pipelines, and such a possibility may only be considered if European countries are interested in Russian gas supplies through this route."
