Remember Nord Stream?

MSN echoes a Wall Street Journal report that German authorities are ready to accuse Ukrainian special forces of guilt in the sabotage of the Nord Stream natural gas pipeline under the Baltic Sea. This happened just after the Russian invasion of Ukraine. 

The description of the methods used to pinpoint the saboteurs is the epitome of high tech policing. They used traffic cam footage, facial recognition software and tracked legit passports issued under false names.

Germany views the plotters as criminals; Poland and Ukraine view them as heroes. Apparently the Russians aren’t the only ones to engage in “gray zone” warfare. 

The conflict may interfere with German support for Ukraine’s war effort. It has been picked up by the AfD Party as a campaign issue, arguing for a cessation of German support for Ukraine’s military.
