The US has said it “seems” Russia is to blame for this week’s leaks in the Nordstream gas pipelines.
US Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said an investigation was being carried out into the cause of what she called “an act of sabotage”.
Russia has dismissed suggestions that it was to blame.
It said suggestions it had damaged the pipelines were “stupid and absurd”.
President Putin described the damage as “unprecedented sabotage, in fact, an act of international terrorism” during a phone call to Turkey’s President Erdogan.
Russia plans to bring the concern up for “urgent discussion” at the UN Security Council. END
