WSJ Report: Ukraine Behind Nord Stream Explosion, Zelensky Approved, $300,000 Cost
Aug 15, 2024, 03:21 PM
A Wall Street Journal report has reignited controversy surrounding the 2022 Nord Stream pipeline explosion, claiming that a small team of Ukrainians was responsible for the attack. According to the report, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky approved the plan but attempted to call it off. Despite this, the operation proceeded under the leadership of Ukraine's top general, Valeriy Zaluzhny. The operation reportedly cost around $300,000 and involved a rented yacht with a six-member crew. Ukrainian officials have denied involvement, with Presidential Adviser Mykhailo Podolyak stating that Ukraine lacked the technical and financial resources for such an operation and instead suggested a Russian trace. The German government has reportedly issued an arrest warrant for a Ukrainian national in connection with the attack. The incident has strained relations between Germany and Ukraine, with broader implications for NATO alliances.
