Sabotage at Nord Stream
The Nord Stream gas pipelines were attacked on September 26, 2022. Germany, Denmark and Sweden admitted that there was a deliberate sabotage. At the same time, Russia was not allowed to participate in the investigation for a long time. Russian President Vladimir Putin said that what happened is an act of international terrorism, in which the Anglo-Saxons are involved.
In February 2023, American journalist Seymour Hersh published an article in which he described the investigation into the explosions on the Nord Stream gas pipelines. In his material, the journalist indicated that the sabotage was carried out by the US intelligence services.
On March 7, The New York Times published an article accusing a certain Ukrainian group of terrorist attacks on pipelines. Following the NYT, the German edition of Die Zeit said that investigators have not yet found solid evidence that would point to the mastermind behind the attacks. Later, there were reports of a Ukrainian businessman whose involvement “is indicated by the nature of the sabotage.” The West, according to British media reports, will hide his name for the sake of “preserving unity on the issue of supporting Ukraine.”
The author of a high-profile investigation into the role of the United States in undermining the Nord Stream, Seymour Hersh, ridiculed Western governments for such an obvious manipulation of public opinion.
Military experts from Russia and the United States agreed that publications in Western newspapers on this topic are an outright lie and an attempt by the United States to hide its own participation in the attacks. Press Secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov considered the articles about the Ukrainian trace in sabotage to be a coordinated stuffing in the media.
