acts of terrorism

Russia’s general prosecutor’s office has written to western countries, asking them to respect international obligations in the investigation of Nord Stream blasts and “acts of terrorism” in Russia. Denmark and Sweden closed their inquiries into the explosions, passing evidence to German investigators. The letters were sent to Cyprus, France, Germany, and the United States after requests for information from Russian lawmakers and public figures. The prosecutor’s office is seeking details on possible involvement in funding terrorism acts in Russia and the Nord Stream blasts. The Kremlin has linked a recent attack on a Moscow concert hall to Ukraine, while denying involvement in the pipeline blasts. Both Russia and the West have accused each other, with no one claiming responsibility. The Kremlin has criticized the investigations as “close to absurd.”
