Sweden Plans to Halt Investigation into Nord Stream Explosions

German media reported today, Tuesday, that Sweden intends to close its investigation into the explosions that occurred in 2022, causing damage to the Nord Stream gas pipelines under the Baltic Sea between Russia and Germany, reportedly after being unable to identify any suspects. Swedish prosecutor Mats Ljungqvist told Reuters today, without providing further details, "I will make a decision tomorrow, and I cannot tell you now what that decision will be... The matter is under coordination for various reasons, and I cannot say more at this time." Since the explosions occurred in the exclusive economic zones of Sweden and Denmark, both countries are conducting investigations, alongside Germany. Media reports indicated that the conclusion of the Swedish investigation will not affect proceedings in Germany.
