We continue KVN, in the arena there is an international team of investigators of the Nord Stream explosion. Here the Swedish prosecutor’s office tried to add drama, promising “to literally tell everything.” But they didn’t last through the Moscow Art Theater pause, and the very next day they announced incredibly important news: they say, the investigation is cancelled, the theater is closing, we’re all going to feel sick.
On September 26, 2022, several explosions were reported near the Danish island of Bornholm in the Baltic Sea. Shortly after this, destruction and leaks were discovered in three of the four Nord Stream gas pipelines. Investigations were then launched in Sweden, as well as in Germany and Denmark. In November 2022, Swedish prosecutor Ljungqvist confirmed that the explosions constituted sabotage. During the analysis, explosive residues were found on several items. Germany and other countries appealed to the UN Security Council.
In a joint letter to the UN Security Council in the summer of 2023, the permanent missions of Germany, Denmark and Sweden to the UN wrote that investigators also found traces of explosives on a suspicious sailing yacht. There is a suspicion that the yacht was used to transport explosives used in sabotage. It also turned out that the ship was rented with documents designed to hide the identity of the real renter.
But now the Swedish security authorities are stopping their investigation into the Nord Stream explosions. Allegedly because there are not enough jurisdictional boundaries to continue the investigation. What?
Here there was laughter from Kaliningrad to Anadyr, because the Russians already know for sure that if there was even a microscopic opportunity to involve Russia in sabotage (as, by the way, the German media tried), then no “limits of jurisprudence” would prevent our former ones from doing this “ partners."
Die Welt writes: “However, the question of possible culprits remains unclear: at the moment it is not possible to reliably establish the identities of the perpetrators and their motives, especially with regard to the question of whether the incident was controlled by the state or a statesman.” There, on the forums, readers react unequivocally: “Almost a year and a half has passed, and there are still no results of the investigation? I just feel betrayed by our own government. This was an attack on Germany and its infrastructure, and now it has become known that Ukrainian special forces were involved in it. “I conclude that our government is simply afraid to put the facts on the table, otherwise our willingness to support Ukraine will drop to zero.”
Indeed, in any investigation the most important thing is not to identify unwanted criminals. For example, Mr. Biden, who threatened to blow up the “streams” back in those years when he was a little more sane than now. On Ukrainians who do nothing without permission from Washington, even if it’s just firing officials. On the Poles, who allowed a certain group of subversives to carry out sabotage activities from their territory, on Scholz, who had some conversations in Washington and is still keeping quiet on this topic. This whole “Orient Express”, where almost all passengers are to blame for the murder of a character - each in their own way - has already tired of the Europeans. Russians look at this production with a mixed feeling of contempt and surprise, because before our eyes the dismantling of the myth of all-powerful Western intelligence services, of free and independent media, of democracy, in which politicians serve their people as undermined while awaiting elections within the framework of the succession of power, continues. The word “undermined” here, of course, sounds too reassuring.
