She also said that former Polish foreign minister Radoslaw Sikorski, who has good relations with Washington, had already confirmed that the US was behind the pipeline sabotage.

US President Joe Biden warned in early February, before Russia launched military operations in Ukraine, that if Moscow attacked Kiev, there would be no more Nord Stream 2 and the US will end it.
