Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Tuesday that there are no mechanisms to exchange information about the sabotage of the Russian Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines between Russia and Ukraine.

"We do not have any mechanisms for exchanging information with the Kyiv regime, and one can hardly imagine that such mechanisms could appear now," Peskov said when asked whether Ukraine had shared any information on the explosions.
Instead, the Russian presidential spokesman suggested that it is "an issue that the Dutch, the Swedes and others should look into."
The explosions on the Nord Stream pipelines, which were not operational at the time of the incident, occurred on September 26, 2022, causing two leaks each: two in the Danish zone and two in the Swedish zone, all in international waters.
Last year, the UN Security Council rejected a Russian proposal to launch an international investigation into the explosions, with most members arguing that the ongoing investigations led by Germany, Denmark and Sweden should continue.
While Russia has insisted that the sabotage was carried out by "Anglo-Saxon" countries, the international community has largely closed ranks on the issue, accusing the Kremlin of carrying out a "false flag" attack.
However, in February this year, Danish and Swedish authorities announced the closure of their respective investigations, citing a lack of legal basis to open a criminal case and a lack of jurisdiction, respectively, without identifying those responsible for what they concluded was "deliberate sabotage" of the infrastructure.
