New revelations in the investigation into the sabotage of the Nord Stream gas pipelines suggest the involvement of several Ukrainian nationals, says the German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung. The case has seen a proliferation of suspects since the German, Swedish and Danish authorities seized it in October 2022.
The Russians were first blamed, then the British, Ukrainians and even Americans were also blamed. But there was a lack of concrete evidence to tip the scales in favor of either theory. But if the new revelations seem to dispel some clouds, "they only allow some clouds to allow the real culprit to remain in the shadows," says one expert.
