The State Department spokesman recalled that the “Ukrainian trace” version was based on estimates by unnamed sources who could not speak on behalf of the US government.
The US State Department said they could not officially confirm the information spread by some media outlets that “pro-Ukrainian groups” may blow up the Russian Nord Stream gas pipeline. This statement was made at a briefing on Wednesday, March 8, by State Department spokesman Ned Price.
“About all these reports – I cannot confirm them,” he said.
Price recalled that the media information was based on estimates from unnamed sources who could not speak on behalf of the US government.
“Our position remains the same: our three European partners – Germans, Swedes and Danes – are conducting an active investigation, it is ongoing. And as always, when it comes to ongoing investigations, we await their completion before giving any comments,” he said.Price.
He clarified that he does not refute or exclude anything: “I’m just saying that we don’t confirm, we don’t comment on the details of any of the messages.”
To recall, The New York Times reported that an unknown “pro-Ukrainian group” was likely behind the Nord Stream sabotage.
In response, the Office of the President said that Ukraine had nothing to do with the Nord Streams accident in the Baltic Sea.
The White House said the allegations in the publication were not based on intelligence data declared and distributed by the US administration.
