00:00Several media reported that Sweden urged the return of the Chinese cargo ship to Swedish
00:06waters in order to facilitate the investigation that was opened after undersea cables were
00:12damaged in the Baltic Sea.
00:16The Chinese vessel, which is currently in international waters between Sweden and Denmark,
00:21became a key suspect after it was reported in the area at the time the cables were severed.
00:28Sweden, Finland and Germany launched investigations last week into the incident and raised questions
00:34about potential sabotage.
00:35It is assumed that it is a secret accident, but then you don't have two secret accidents
00:44within the same day.
00:46It suddenly starts to settle down, and in this case on top of three cables.
00:50It's not a normal behavior for a ship.
00:54Sweden's Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said that he is not making any accusations, but
00:59wants to seek clarity on what has happened.
