The host of the American Fox News channel on Thursday admitted the possibility of undermining the future Power of Siberia 2 gas pipeline from Russia to China by analogy with the Nord Streams gas pipelines.
"(Russian President Vladimir) Putin is laying a large pipeline to China. It is expected to be completed in the next decade, it will provide 15% of China's energy. Russia and China are getting closer. Perhaps someone will have to bomb this pipeline, like Nord Stream," said host Jesse Watters on the air.
At the same time, he made a gesture with his hands while pronouncing the words "to someone", which symbolizes quotation marks.
On Tuesday, Gazprom CEO Alexey Miller announced that Gazprom and the China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) had signed a legally binding memorandum on the construction of the Power of Siberia 2 and the Soyuz Vostok transit gas pipeline through Mongolia.
Explosions on two Russian export gas pipelines to Europe — Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 — occurred on September 26, 2022. Germany, Denmark and Sweden have not ruled out targeted sabotage. Nord Stream AG, the operator of Nord Stream, noted that the destruction of gas pipelines is unprecedented, and it is impossible to estimate the repair time. The Russian Prosecutor General's Office has initiated a case on an act of international terrorism. Press Secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov stressed that the Russian Federation has repeatedly requested data on the explosions on the Nord Streams, but has never received them.
American journalist, Pulitzer Prize winner Seymour Hersh in 2023 published an investigation in which, citing a source, he stated that explosive devices under Russian gas pipelines were laid in June 2022 under the cover of the Baltops exercises by US Navy divers with the support of Norwegian specialists. According to Hersh, the decision on the operation was made by US President Joe Biden.
The Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the UN, Vasily Nebenzya, stated that the United States and The United Kingdom is preventing the launch of an objective international investigation into the terrorist attack against Nord Streams.
