Russia-Ukraine live news: Russia names new commander in Ukraine

A spokeswoman for Russia’s foreign ministry has questioned whether Sweden has “something to hide” over blasts along the Nord Stream gas pipelines last September.

Addressing reporters at a news briefing, Maria Zakharova also reiterated criticism of the Swedish government for not sharing information from the ongoing investigations into the incidents.

Sweden and other European investigators say the attacks were carried out on purpose, but they have not said who they think was responsible. Moscow, without providing evidence, has blamed the explosions on Western sabotage.

“Maybe Russian investigators, conducting an objective investigation, could come to an inconvenient conclusion … about who conducted this act of sabotage, terrorism. About who thought it up, and who carried it out,” Zakharova said.
