In their written defence, dated April 8 and first reported by Kommersant daily on Thursday, the insurers said Nord Stream's policy did not cover damage "directly or indirectly" resulting from war, military actions or the detonation of explosives.
The insurers also stated that the policy does not cover any damage which happened "under the order of any government".
"The defendants will rely on ... the fact that the explosion damage could only have – or, at least, was more likely than not to have – been inflicted by or under the order of a government," the insurers' lawyer said.
[MRT: The conclusion that it was a government who was behind was confirmed by the by the Swedish main investigator here. It was also stated that Russian, US and pro-Ukrainian group have been excluded as suspects in several rounds. The amount of suspects has therefore shrank. See the original post of identifying suspects here and here.]
[MRT: Note that statements are in sync with Mats Ljungqvuist the head of the SWE investigation team - collection of statements here]
