EU = European Union Chairman von der Leyen gave a speech at the European Parliament and indicated that critical infrastructure would be monitored using satellites in the future in connection with the gas leak in the natural gas pipeline connecting Russia and Germany. .

A gas leak was confirmed late last month on the Nord Stream natural gas pipeline that connects Russia and Germany via the Baltic Sea.



In the EU, there is a growing view that it was caused by someone's intentional sabotage.



EU President von der Leyen addressed the European Parliament on the 5th, saying, "This sabotage has made it clear how fragile our energy infrastructure is. Pipelines and submarine cables are data and energy lifelines. It is in the interest of all Europeans to better protect these critical infrastructures."

After that, Chairman von der Leyen indicated that in the future, important infrastructure will be monitored using satellites, and that measures will be considered at the EU level in the event that infrastructure malfunctions and affects the lives of citizens.
