The "Nord Stream" natural gas pipeline runs directly from Russia to Germany via the Baltic Sea to transport gas to Europe. On September 26, 2022, the pipeline exploded, leaking a large amount of natural gas. The investigation found that three of the four pipelines leaked, with a total of four leakage points located in the waters near Sweden and Denmark. After the incident, Denmark, Sweden and Germany launched separate investigations, but refused Russia's participation. In February this year, Sweden and Denmark announced the end of the investigation. Germany said it would continue its investigation.
