Watch: The full extent of the Nord Stream leak as Russia denies it was behind any sabotage
Two key gas pipelines from Russia to Europe have leaked with suspicions raised that the Kremlin was behind an attack on them.
Dmitry Peskov, the Russian government spokesman, said any claim of sabotage was "predictable, stupid and absurd". Nord Stream 2 operators found a loss of pressure on Monday while the Nord Stream, 1 operator found "unprecedented damage". The pipeline runs from St Petersburg to north east Germany via the Baltic.But the US has said it does not expect the leak to harm European energy security, with Nord Stream 1 having been closed by Russia since August and Nord Stream 2, a controversial project even before the invasion, stopped after Putin launched his war.
"Any deliberate disruption of active European energy infrastructure is unacceptable & will lead to the strongest possible response."
