German foreign minister Annalena Baerbock indicated that Berlin will reach a clear position once authorities finish their probe into the Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline incidents. This summary reflects remarks reported by Anatolia and other confirming agencies during Baerbock’s current round of diplomatic engagements.
Baerbock outlined during her discussions in Iraq that new analyses of the gas pipeline incidents have emerged, but emphasized that official findings must guide any public interpretation. She urged observers to await the formal conclusions from investigators before drawing conclusions, citing the importance of relying on evidence rather than speculative media coverage.
She added that the government will evaluate the investigative results first, and only then form an assessment. The focus, according to the minister, is on accurate interpretation of the authorities’ findings, rather than reassessing the situation based on press reports or unverified disclosures.
In related remarks, former Austrian defense officials stressed the need to corroborate information before linking any alleged “Ukrainian trail” to the Nord Stream explosions. They encouraged careful review of the available data and noted that premature conclusions could mislead policymakers and the public alike, underscoring the value of methodical verification before publishing major claims.
