Two suspects have been identified in Germany in connection with the blowing up of the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines.
The German public prosecutor’s office has made progress in the investigation into the Nord Stream gas pipeline explosion and has identified two suspects, Attorney General Jens Rommel said in an interview for ‘Der Spiegel’. – In my opinion, this is a success that could not have been expected from the beginning – he said.
The prosecutor did not reveal the names of the suspects, adding that he could not comment on the details of the investigation. He only revealed that efforts are underway to identify the other people involved in the case and their motives.
Nord Stream blown up by Ukrainians?
Commenting on the theory that the sabotage of Nord Stream may have been carried out by Ukrainians with the aim of harming Russia, Rommel said that “there has been a serious attack on our country’s energy supply, with the aim of destabilizing the economy . and society, regardless of any political agreements.”
Previously, a number of German media, in particular ARD, “Süddeutsche Zeitung” and “Die Zeit”, reported that the German Attorney General issued the first arrest warrant in early June against the main suspect in the case of blowing up the Nord Stream, Ukrainian diving instructor Volodymyr Zhuravlev.
According to the findings of “Der Spiegel”, the man left Poland for Ukraine in a car from the Ukrainian embassy, because he probably received a warning about his upcoming arrest.
Sabotage in the Baltic Sea
The destruction of Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 occurred on the night of September 26, 2022, near the Danish island of Bornholm in the Baltic Sea. As a result of the explosion, three of the four gas pipes were damaged. One branch of NS2 survived.
According to the Wall Street Journal’s findings, the operation to blow up Nord Stream was masterminded in May 2022 by a group of Ukrainian officers. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky initially approved the plan, but unsuccessfully tried to withdraw it at the CIA’s request.
Polish threads also appear in press reports about sabotage at the bottom of the Baltic Sea.
