Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zakharova commented on Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s statements regarding the attack on the Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipelines.

Zakharova argued that Tusk’s call to halt German investigations into individuals allegedly linked to the attack was a “destabilizing signal” in terms of the international legal order.

Zakharova claimed that Tusk’s statements could lead to consequences that may result in the removal of existing boundaries in relations between European states. She stated that Warsaw’s position regarding the Nord Stream pipelines could have negative consequences for Poland’s own interests and security in the future.

Zakharova also claimed that Tusk’s statement revealed the historical rivalry between Poland and Germany. Referring to the relations between the two countries within the framework of the European Union and NATO, Zakharova argued that the Nord Stream issue had turned into political and economic losses for Germany and risks for Poland.
