The guesswork about the Nord Stream sabotage continues

Berlin Of course, a bang was not heard, but unusual deflections that did not come from earthquakes were recorded on September 26 – at 2:04 a.m. southwest of the Danish island of Bornholm, exactly 17 hours later northeast of it.

The Baltic Sea bubbled and it quickly became clear that the three gas leaks on the Nord Stream I and Nord Stream II pipelines were not the result of an accident.

Shortly thereafter, the Federal Public Prosecutor initiated investigations “on suspicion of intentionally causing an explosive explosion”. Everything points to a “deliberate act of sabotage”, according to Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD).

With the abrupt end of Russian gas deliveries to Germany, the blame immediately began to spread. Some argued that Moscow must be behind it because it had previously throttled throughput to undermine Western support for Ukraine.
