Nord Stream Pipelines Sabotaged

Underwater explosions severely damaged both Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 Baltic Sea pipelines, cutting Russian gas supply routes to Europe. Investigations by Germany, Sweden, and Denmark were launched. By 2023–2024, reporting from the Washington Post, NYT, and Der Spiegel pointed to Ukrainian military operatives. Swedish and Danish probes were closed; Germany's investigation continued into 2026.
