Truss says Nord Stream gas pipeline damage ‘clearly sabotage’

Russia is suspected to have carried out explosions to put pressure on western energy supplies

Liz Truss has said a series of explosions which severely damaged Russia's undersea Nord Stream gas pipelines were an act of sabotage.

In a joint report delivered to the United Nations last week, the Danish and Swedish governments have claimed that the leaks in the Nord Stream gas pipelines, which can carry gas to Germany, were caused by blasts equivalent to the power of several hundred kilograms of explosive".
