Kremlin comments on possible causes of Nord Stream damage

T.Belman. In my opinion, the US is responsible for doing this. Biden wanted to prevent the EU from making peace with Russia and giving it no choice but to fight on. If Russia can’t turn the taps back on what’s the point of making peace?

Tucker Carlson questions what happened to the Nord Stream pipeline

Moscow says nothing can be ruled out and suggests it’s possible the pipeline was damaged intentionally

RUSSIA TODAY


The Nord Stream pipelines may have been damaged in an act of sabotage, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov suggested when asked about the possible reasons for sudden pressure loss in three of the Baltic Sea gas network’s lines.

Speaking to journalists on Tuesday, Peskov commented on a statement made by Nord Stream AG, the operator of the network, which said three offshore lines of the Nord Stream pipeline system sustained “unprecedented” damage in just one day.

“No option can be ruled out right now,” Peskov said when asked if the damage may have been the result of sabotage. He added that Moscow is very concerned about the situation, and called for an immediate and thorough investigation into the incident, which has implications for energy security on the “entire continent.”

Pressure in line A of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, which was pumped with gas but had yet to go into operation, suddenly dropped overnight between Sunday and Monday. Shortly after that, on Monday afternoon, both of Nord Stream 1’s pipelines also suffered a sharp loss of pressure.

Sweden and Denmark’s coastguards have since reported gas leaks off the coast of Bornholm island in the Baltic Sea – one in the Swedish economic zone and one in the Danish zone – and closed off the area to maritime traffic.

According to a report from the Tagesspiegel newspaper on Tuesday, Berlin believes the sudden pressure drop in three gas pipelines at the same time could not be a coincidence and is likely a “targeted attack” from either Ukraine or Russia. The outlet explained that a deliberate attack on the pipeline could only have been carried out using special forces, navy divers or a submarine. Berlin reportedly believes the sabotage was carried out by either “Ukraine-affiliated forces” or by Russia itself as a “false flag” operation to make Ukraine look bad and drive energy prices in the EU even higher.

Nord Stream 1 was completed in 2011. Construction work on Nord Stream 2 (NS2) began in 2018, and suffered delays due to political pressure and sanctions from the US. NS2 was finished and pressurized in September 2021. However, two days prior to Russia’s military operation in Ukraine, the German government put its certification on indefinite hold, and has categorically rejected any suggestion from Moscow – or domestically – to unblock the pipeline.

  1. This terrorist action aimed against Russia has sacrificed the people of Germany to their fate. This will, however, not save the dedicated servants of the Americans parading as the German govt from their own fate, which has also been sacrificed by this international outrage. The German people will be left to freeze this winter and they will not sit shivering in their homes while they do so, as there will be no warmth there to dissuade them from voicing their fury with the inept policy which has led to this dreadful outcome. Actually, I believe the loss of any hope that the pipeline might be restarted will likely hasten the demise of Habek and his inane govt of simpletons, and the sooner the better.
