Remember when multiple major US media outlets tried to convince Americans and Europeans that it was mostly likely Putin who blew up his own Nord Stream 2 pipeline?

New Nord Stream bombing revelation just dropped.

On 26 September 2022, a series of underwater explosions and consequent gas leaks occurred on 3 of 4 pipes of the Nord Stream 1 (NS1) and Nord Stream 2 (NS2) natural gas pipelines, two of 23 gas pipelines between Europe and Russia.[8] Both pipelines were built to transport natural gas from Russia to Germany through the Baltic Sea, and are majority owned by the Russian majority state-owned gas company, Gazprom. – Wikipedia

One of the most audacious acts of sabotage in modern history, the operation worsened an energy crisis in Europe—an assault on critical infrastructure that could be considered an act of war under international law. Theories swirled about who was responsible. Was it the CIA? Could Putin himself have set the plan in motion?

The WSJ claims the the Ukrainian operation cost around $300,000, according to people who participated in it. It involved a small rented yacht with a six-member crew, including trained civilian divers. One was a woman, whose presence helped create the illusion they were a group of friends on a pleasure cruise. – Archive

Russia’s Purported Sabotage Of The Nord Stream Pipeline Marks A Point Of No Return. – Forbes

Private businessmen funded the shoestring operation, which was overseen by a top general; President Zelensky approved the plan, then tried unsuccessfully to call it off.

Ukrainian officials who participated in or are familiar with the plot believe it would be impossible to put any of the commanding officers on trial, because no evidence exists beyond conversations among top officials who were, at least initially, all in agreement about wanting to blow up the pipelines.

“None of them will testify, lest they incriminate themselves,” one former officer said.

Today, the Russian Embassy released a statement on X claiming the Russian Intelligence Service has reliable information about the direct involvement of the US and Britain in the Nord Stream blasts – Sergey Naryshkin, director of Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service.

“Data shows that professional saboteurs from Anglo-Saxon intelligence services were involved in the Nord Stream explosions”, Sergey Naryshkin stated, speaking at a meeting of the Council of Heads of Security Bodies and Special Services of the CIS member states (Astana, 4 October 2024). – Source
