The Nord Stream pipelines as a gas lifeline for German industry are a thing of the past after the sabotage in September last year. Before Vladimir Putin attacked Ukraine, they were considered a lighthouse project. Now three of the four tubes have been blown up and the last one intact has been closed. But why were the pipelines so important to Germany? And why did the project have so many opponents from the start? The backgrounds.
A bang in the sabotage thriller about the Nord Stream pipelines: After a few weeks ago US investigative journalist Seymour Hersh implicated the US government as the perpetrator of the bombing, which they immediately denied, their secret services now present another suspect.
A mysterious pro-Ukrainian group is said to be behind the attack. There is no evidence that the Ukrainian government was aware of this. But one thing is certain: both Kiev and Washington should be satisfied with the forced closure.
