Quite as could be expected politically, Sweden’s Public Prosecutor announced on February 7, 2024, that Sweden had closed down the investigation of how Nord Stream was destroyed and by whom – and of whether there were any Swedes involved in the affair.
The main, actually only, argument he gave was that Sweden does not have jurisdiction over the area despite the fact that the pipelines run through Sweden’s Exclusive Economic Zone, EEZ. The other remarkable fact was that the Prosecutor did not hold a press conference but only issued a statement and emphasised at the end of it that he had no further comments.

Thanks to the West’s violation of the human right to freely seek information and build one’s opinion by preventing access to a series of Russian media, you will have to have a proxy server to visit RT. But RT put it up on Odysee and you do not need a proxy server there. Just click on this image:
Here is, finally, the Chinese national news agency Xinhua’s coverage and use of my comments.
Sweden’s decision has been all over the place – but rather silent/silenced in the Western media press. That, too, perhaps, is not so surprising.
