The examinations of the anchor lifted near the damaged Balticconnector pipeline have reinforced suspicion that it belongs to the Chinese Newnew Polar Bear ship, flying the Hong Kong flag, the Finnish police said on Friday.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday that the possibility of external risks similar to explosions of the Nord Stream pipelines can not be ruled out.
The investigation into the incident at the Balticconnector gas pipeline has established that vessel Newnew Polar Bear under the flag of Hong Kong was likely to have caused the damage, the Finnish National Bureau of Investigation said on Tuesday.
