Russia will release the evidence based on what is most practical and on how the situation around the investigation into the incident will develop.

“This evidence exists. As to whether we will publish it – which will also tell you what kind of evidence it is – that would depend on how the situation around the investigation unfolds,” Zakharova said, as reported by TASS.

“Because we have repeatedly offered cooperation to everyone, we did it both publicly and via the available legal channels between law enforcement agencies, we have contacted them repeatedly. We supported these legal requests, both politically and publicly, and we received zero response,” she added.

Previously, Sergei Naryshkin, head of Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service, said that the United States and Britain were directly involved in the Nord Streams explosions.

On Sept. 26, 2022, the Nord Stream pipelines transporting natural gas from Russia to Europe were ruptured in a series of explosions underneath the Baltic Sea near Sweden and Denmark. Sweden, Denmark, and Germany have called the incident a deliberate act of sabotage.

The investigations that Germany, Denmark and Sweden had initiated following the attacks excluded Russia and led to no meaningful results. In 2024, both Sweden and Denmark announced they would be concluding their probes into the pipeline explosions.
