“Sabotage is the most likely cause of leaks in two Baltic Sea gas pipelines between Russia and Europe, European leaders have said, after seismologists reported explosions around the Nord Stream pipelines.”
According to European Commission President Ursula Von der Leyen “the leaks” into the Baltic sea were due to “sabotage”:
“Any deliberate disruption of active European energy infrastructure is unacceptable and will lead to the strongest possible response,” she warned, and urged an investigation to get full clarity on the “events and why”.
Danish prime minister Mette Frederiksen described them as “deliberate acts”, adding: “We are not talking about an accident.”
Von Der Leyen did not elaborate as to who might have been behind these “deliberate acts” of sabotage.
