DISINFORMATION CASE DETAILS

DISINFO: The West blew up Nord Stream 1 and 2

SUMMARY

They [the West] blew up our gas transport system, Nord Stream 1 and 2, and do not want to share the investigation results.

RESPONSE

This is a pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative and a conspiracy theory, claiming that the West (and especially the “Anglo-Saxons”) sabotaged the NS 1 and NS 2 gas pipelines.

Sweden, Germany and Denmark are still investigating the incident. The preliminary Danish investigation only found that the leaks in the pipelines were caused by powerful explosions. Sweden’s authorities found evidence of detonations, thus strengthening suspicions of “gross sabotage”. This is only an initial step in understanding who is responsible for the sabotage.
