Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov accused the US of ordering the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipeline in September 2022. “It is clear that the order for such an attack came from the highest place, as they say, the highest place in the West, of course, Washington,” Lavrov told Russian newspaper Izvestia in a video interview published on Monday.
“Even if the Ukrainians are involved, it is clear that they cannot do it alone,” Lavrov said. It was learned last week that the Federal Prosecutor General in Karlsruhe, Germany, had applied for a preliminary arrest warrant for a diver from Ukraine in connection with the events. He and two other Ukrainians are accused of involvement in the Nord Stream sabotage.
The “Wall Street Journal” (WSJ), citing Ukrainian military sources, reported that the explosions were planned under the leadership of then-Ukrainian commander-in-chief Valery Zalushnyj and approved at the highest level of the Ukrainian government – initially by President Volodymyr Zelensky. . After the intervention of the CIA, the US Foreign Secret Service, he ordered a halt, but was ignored. Kiev dismissed the accusations as “absolute nonsense”.
