EU officials distance themselves from intel on Nord Stream blasts

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 03:54:45 GMT

STOCKHOLM — European officials wanted nothing to do Wednesday with reports that a pro-Ukrainian group carried out the attacks on the Nord Stream gas pipelines last year. Their message: Don’t put this intel on us, and we’re not touching it.A joint German media investigation published Tuesday evening indicated Ukrainians may have been involved in the underwater explosions in the Baltic Sea. The New York Times backed up the findings in its own report, which said U.S. officials had reviewed similar intelligence. The Ukrainian government, however, denied any involvement and the reports do not directly link Kyiv to the sabotage.The allegations, if true, could damage public support for Europe’s unyielding support for Ukraine — particularly in Germany, which is investigating the explosion alongside Sweden and Denmark. But officials kept the possibility at arm’s length.“I would hesitate to give a clear analysis,” said German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius, arri...
