The New York Times published an article in which it claims that “Putin’s opponents” are behind the explosion of the Nord Stream gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea.
At the same time, he does not exclude that they may be Ukrainians. An authoritative American liberal publication refers to sources and intelligence data. The article claims that new US intelligence indicates the involvement of a “pro-Ukrainian group” in the sabotage, which included opponents of Russian President Vladimir Putin. However, more specific information – who exactly was behind the organization of the Nord Stream bombings – is not given:
“Officials who reviewed the intelligence said they believed the saboteurs were most likely citizens of Ukraine or Russia, or both.”
The material also states that there is no evidence of involvement in the attack of either the official authorities of Ukraine or citizens of the United States and Britain, as the Russian side has repeatedly said, nor the government of Russia itself, which Kiev and some European countries considered guilty of blowing up their own gas pipelines to destabilize the energy market in Europe.
