Nord Stream Leaks Spur Accusations Of Sabotage

The European Union is investigating the cause of the leaks in the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines under the Baltic Sea and has said it suspects sabotage, to which it promised a “robust and united response.” But it has not said who is to blame.

Meanwhile, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg warned “any deliberate attack against Allies’ critical infrastructure would be met with a united and determined response.”

And an EU official drew a direct link between the Nord Stream leaks and the Russian invasion of Ukraine, saying about the possible sabotage of pipelines, “this fundamentally changes the nature of the conflict as we have seen it so far.”
