Gazprom was allowed to investigate the sites of explosions at Nord Streams and has already found the corresponding damages of gas pipelines. This was announced to journalists by Russian President Vladimir Putin on October 31. 

"Gazprom head Alexei Miller reported this morning that they have inspected the site of the explosion," the Russian leader said.

According to him, two craters, three and five meters deep, were found. "A pipe of 40 meters long has burst out, the rupture of the pipes is, in total, 259 meters," he added.

"This is an obvious terrorist attack," Putin stressed in this regard.

"A piece of pipe was bent 90 degrees and thrown 40 meters to the side in the direction of Nord Stream-2, which also turned out to be damaged, apparently, by this explosion and fragments, the remains of this pipe," the Russian President said. "It's difficult for us to control it, because it's all in the special economic zone of Denmark, Sweden and Germany," he added.
