Three months in advance, the United States knew that there were plans to sabotage the Nord Stream gas pipeline. The Washington Post reports this, citing leaked CIA documents.
According to the documents, a Ukrainian special forces unit planned an attack. The American CIA learned as early as June last year that a small group from a Ukraine special forces had plans for an attack on Nord Stream. The incident is still under investigation. Who was behind it is still unclear and there have been many theories. But according to the Washington Post, the new data is the clearest evidence yet that Ukraine's government was involved.
