٠٠:٠٢:١٨Russian Ambassador to Germany Sergei Nechaev said that 'answers are needed to be given' by Berlin, about the results of the investigations into the Nord Stream pipeline explosion, at the memorial ceremony in the German capital for Defender of the Fatherland Day on Thursday.
"We are constantly reminding our German colleagues that the answers are needed to be given to our requests," he said.
"We have taken into account the comment by the German Federal Public Prosecutor General that no Russian trace was discovered [in the course of the investigation into Nord Stream blasts]. But the question of whose trace has been found then if not Russian and why the public is still kept unaware arises," he continued.
Footage also shows the wreath-laying ceremony at the Tiergarten Soviet War Memorial, one of the three Soviet remembrance sites in the German capital, commemorating the Red Army soldiers who fought and fell in the battle for Berlin in 1945.
The Defender of the Fatherland Day itself is a nationwide holiday honoured annually on February 23, celebrating those who serve or have served in the Russian Armed Forces.
Nechaev also referred to the UN Security session, which Russia called following claims of US involvement in the pipeline blasts in September.
"Our representatives together with some American independent experts provided their assessments. The global community is waiting for explanations of what really happened. We are also waiting for the same explanations from our German colleagues," he stated.
The allegations of US involvement came from an article by US journalist Seymour Hersh, published on February 8, which alleged that explosives were planted at the pipelines by US Navy divers on the orders of US President Joe Biden. The White House called it 'utterly false and total fiction'.
Swedish, Danish and German investigations into the pipeline explosions in the Baltic Sea last September are reportedly still ongoing.
"German people suffered a lot as a result of this act of sabotage and terror attack, as German companies had been investing in the project from the very beginning. That (Nord Stream) was an international energy project run by an international consortium and the German side has suffered greatly from that blast financially and energy-wise," said Nechaev.
The US, EU, NATO and Russia all initially blamed 'sabotage' for the pipeline blasts. Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed that the West had 'effectively attempted to destroy the pan-European energy infrastructure', while US President Joe Biden accused Moscow of 'pumping out disinformation and lies'.
