India extends supports to calls for independent, objective probe into Nord Stream gas leaks

India has extended its support to the calls for “independent and objective investigation” into the leaks in the Nord Stream undersea gas pipelines, even as Russia and the United States blamed each other for what are being suspected as acts of sabotage.

“Any targeting of civilian infrastructure and facilities must be avoided. The present incidents have the potential to impact stability in Europe and beyond apart from negatively affecting the environment,” Ruchira Kamboj, New Delhi’s envoy to the United Nations, told the Security Council.

She was participating at an open briefing on ‘sabotage leading to disruption in the Nord Stream gas pipeline at the UN Security Council.
