Some time ago, Sweden gave a preliminary investigation result on the Nord Stream incident, and concluded that "the possibility of artificial damage to the pipeline increased." However, this result did not satisfy all parties at that time, especially Russia. After all, the Nord Stream Pipeline was artificially damaged, and it was almost the second day of the incident, and it was a common speculation of the international community.
However, recently, Sweden's investigation has made latest progress. said that the investigation results currently are too sensitive and are directly related to Sweden's national security, so it is not convenient to share with other countries.
It is worth mentioning that Sweden not only refuses Russia to participate in the investigation, but also does not agree to jointly investigate the matter with Denmark and Germany. In response to this, Sweden explained that if he participated in the joint investigation, it might have made Sweden bear "unnecessary obligations". As for what specific obligations it is, it did not disclose more information.
Judging from Sweden's current statement, it is obvious that some information has been found that has clear directions for suspects who damage Nord Stream, but for political reasons or other reasons, they are unwilling to disclose it.
In fact, from the perspective of interests, after the damage to the Nord Stream, the United States benefited the most. Russia's losses were unquestionable, and European countries were completely trapped in the quagmire of the energy crisis . However, the United States can take the opportunity to sell high-priced energy to Europe to make a fortune, and at the same time can further cut off the economic hub between Europe and Russia.
In addition, from the perspective of Sweden, it now claims to be "overly sensitive". What causes "sensitivity", can actually be analyzed from two perspectives.
First, the survey results show that the object is more sensitive. Previously, Sweden was recognized as the " neutral country ". However, after the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, its neutrality began to shaky. Finally, under the influence of the United States, it completely collapsed and turned to Western countries. It then applied to join NATO .
Sweden is actually a member of the Western camp now. Now it emphasizes the sensitivity of the results. It is very likely that this result is related to a major Western power. There are very few countries that can make Sweden resist the pressure of the international community and resolutely refuse to disclose relevant information.
Second, for Sweden, it is more sensitive to publish results at this point in time. also mentioned that Sweden applied to join NATO, but it is still undergoing relevant procedures. For Sweden, since it is clearly not a neutral country and has turned against the West, it must be very cautious at this critical moment, especially when it comes to joining NATO, and there must be no mistakes.
Otherwise, Sweden will face pressure at that time, but cannot find any reliable dependence. Therefore, it can actually be reversed. The countries that the investigation results point to are most likely to be able to control whether Sweden can successfully join NATO.
Based on the above two points, there is no need to say who is the most suspicious. Moreover, the three countries, Sweden, Denmark, and Germany, have all kept silent about the investigation results, which can prove that the previous statement that the United States claimed that Russia was blowing up the Nord Stream itself was not credible, because if the result pointed to Russia, these Western countries would definitely jump out to accuse Russia at the first time.
In fact, from what Sweden said, "sensitivity" is said, most countries can basically guess the real culprit behind the Nord Stream incident. Of course, Sweden also understands this truth, but as long as Sweden does not say it clearly, it will not allow other countries to seize the opportunity to retaliate against themselves.
Things have developed to this point, and in fact, whether the investigation results can be made public is not so important, because even if more countries have obtained the evidence, they may be as stressed, just like Sweden, and they are afraid to publish the specific investigation results.
Unless that country is not worried about suppression and retaliation from other countries, such as Russia. Since the Nord Stream incident, Russia has proposed to participate in the investigation, but has been repeatedly rejected by Europe.
Therefore, before Sweden declared that the results were "sensitive", Russia had actually made a statement. According to the " Global Network ", the Russian Foreign Ministry stated that Russia will not admit any investigation results without the participation of the Russian side. had previously revealed that it might investigate the Nord Stream incident separately.
In short, although Sweden has not said anything now, a word "sensitivity" can already allow various countries to have a more definite answer to the truth. But under the current situation, even if the truth is known, some countries dare not expose it under pressure. Although Russia has this strength, considering the pressure of international public opinion, even if the truth is announced, those Western countries may pretend to be deaf and dumb and refuse to admit it.
