Almost a year after the attack on the Nord Stream pipelines in the Baltic Sea, there is growing evidence that the saboteurs of the Russian gas pipelines have retreated to Ukraine after the works. According to a media report, experts from the German Federal Criminal Investigation Service and the Federal Police have evaluated numerous data traces and found a fairly clear picture.
The analysis of IP addresses and other data, among other things, led to the conclusion that the suspects were in Ukraine before and after the act of sabotage and communicated from there, report the news magazine ‘Der Spiegel’ and ZDF, who conducted the investigation. performed together.
Overall, investigators and agents now suspect that a Ukrainian commando was responsible for the unprecedented attack on German energy infrastructure. People know much more than is publicly known, said a top official. There is no evidence of a false flag operation by Moscow, in which the Russians caused the explosions and deliberately went down the wrong track in Ukraine.
An attack on another pipeline was planned
The findings are consistent with those of Dutch military intelligence and the CIA, who had warned of a Ukrainian sabotage squad months before the attack, and with the exact scenario that played out at the time. In Berlin, the warnings were considered irrelevant after the originally supposed time for an attack had passed. The German Federal Prosecutor is still investigating an unknown person for “causing an explosion of an explosive device and anti-constitutional sabotage”. The authority would not comment on the ongoing process.
The investigation reportedly revealed that an attack on the Turksteam gas pipeline, through which Russian gas flows to Turkey, was also planned. It is unclear why the attack plans against Turkstream, unlike the attacks in the Baltic Sea, were not carried out.
