These statements come after multiple European officials on Tuesday blamed the Kremlin for the incidents and suggested they were meant as a threat.Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said such claims by European leaders are “predictably stupid” and “absurd,” in a call with reporters. Russia had no interest in damaging the pipeline because of the high value of the gas, he said, which due to the leak, had been lost.

He noted, however, at this time the country has no indications of direct threats.
