Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has assessed that it is “clear” that the sabotage of the Russian Nord Stream pipelines in September 2022, in the Baltic Sea, was ordered by the United States.
“Even if (…) the Ukrainians were involved in this, it is clear that they could not do it alone. It is clear that to carry out such an attack, the order came from the highest level, as they say, and the highest level for the West, of course, is Washington,” Lavrov told the Russian newspaper Izvestia.
The investigation into the pipeline sabotage shifted to a Ukrainian scenario after media revealed last week that German justice had issued an arrest warrant for a Ukrainian diving professional suspected of being involved along with two other compatriots. of.
On Thursday, Kiev described its involvement in this operation against Nord Stream as “absolute nonsense”, following the Wall Street Journal’s report.
According to the US newspaper, which it says relied mainly on Ukrainian military sources, the attack with explosives on the bottom of the Baltic was carried out under the supervision of then-chief of the general staff of Ukraine Valery Zaluzny, despite the conversion of Volodymyr Zelensky along the way , who asked to stop this plan.
The German media, which revealed the recent development of the judicial investigation, are much more cautious about the possible involvement of the highest authorities of Ukraine and instead tend to exonerate President Zelensky.
The weekly Der Spiegel reports on the contrary a possible involvement of Valery Zaluzny.
