Zelensky announced the non-involvement of Ukrainians in the undermining of the “Nord Streams”

Ukrainians and the political leadership of the country have nothing to do with the sabotage on the Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said at a press conference with Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin.

“As for the Nord Stream, we have nothing to do with it … The Ukrainians definitely didn’t do this,” leads his words to RIA Novosti.

According to Zelensky, publications in the Western media about a certain pro-Ukrainian group involved in sabotage can be paid for by individuals who are interested in easing sanctions pressure on Russia and slowing down arms supplies to Ukraine.

March 7 The New York Times informed about the emergence of new intelligence agencies from the United States, which speak of the involvement of a certain pro-Ukrainian group in sabotage on the Nord Streams. Sources of the newspaper among American officials specified that Washington had no evidence of involvement in the blowing up of pipelines by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and his subordinates. No “Russian trace” was found in the case either.

Later that day, the German newspaper Zeit, citing the German investigation statedthat a Ukrainian ship, on which traces of explosives were found, could be involved in the sabotage.

The Kremlin called the publications a “coordinated stuffing” and questioned the involvement of pro-Ukrainian forces in undermining the Nord Streams. The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, called on the West to respond to Russia’s requests for sabotage, and not to allow leaks in the information field.

The Nord Stream incident occurred on the night of September 26, 2022. Pressure dropped in both pipelines. Two subsequently discovered leaks were in the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of Sweden, and two more were in the Danish EEZ.
