The Guardian, following other Western media, reports that Nord Stream was blown up by a small Ukrainian sabotage team. Moreover, the plan was approved by President Vladimir Zelensky. This was reported by TAVRIA.
“Initially, many assumed Russia was to blame. Later, others suggested the CIA could have been involved. Last year, the New York Times reported that US officials had seen intelligence suggesting a ‘pro-Ukrainian group’ was behind the explosions,” the article reads.”
The WSJ investigation says that Zelensky approved the plan to blow up the gas pipes, but after the CIA found out about it, the Ukrainian president changed his mind and ordered to abort the operation. However, Zaluzhny disobeyed and continued the mission.
“However, German police and prosecutors are reportedly pressing on with an investigation that is now homing in on senior Ukrainian military officials and could prove embarrassing for Berlin, given that it involves an ally launching an act of sabotage against key infrastructure,” the authors wrote.
Earlier TRC Tavria reported that Russian air defense system repelled a massive attack by the AFU on the Crimean bridge on the night of August 15-16.
