The president said divers would eventually be sent to the pipelines, which were designed to bring gas from Russia to Europe, to determine what happened.
The claim by Putin came ahead of an emergency meeting Friday at the U.N. Security Council in New York on the attacks on the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines, and as Norwegian researchers published a map projecting that a huge plume of methane from the damaged pipelines will travel over large swaths of the Nordic region.
European nations, which have been reeling under soaring energy prices caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, have noted that it is Russia, not Europe, that benefits from chaos in the energy markets and spiking prices for energy. The leaks occurred in international waters and"have caused plumes of gas rising to the surface," the two Scandinavian countries wrote in a letter to the United Nations.
The data was gathered from ground-based observations in Sweden, Norway, and Finland. Experts say these methane levels aren't dangerous to public health but are a potent source of global warming.
