Mid-US accounts claim that Volodymyr Zelensky initially approved the sabotage.
Ukraine should pay for the damage to the German economy after the destruction of the Nord Stream oil pipelines, Bundestag member Alice Weidel said.
The Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines, which run over the Baltic Sea, were an important conduit for Russian gas to Germany and other parts of Western Europe. Three oil pipelines and four on the Danish island of Bornholm will be blown up in September 2022. The culprit has not yet been formally identified.
German media reported last week that Berlin had issued the first arrest warrant in its sabotage investigation, identifying or suspecting him as a Ukrainian, Mirgolhador, whose last known location was in Poland. The second story is that he is suspected of having fled to Ukraine before Polish authorities could execute a European arrest warrant Berlin filed in June.
The North American Wall Street Journal later quoted sources claiming that Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky initially approved a plan to sabotage gas pipelines.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), German lawmaker Weidel insisted that Kyiv should pay compensation for the damage caused.
“The economic damage caused to our country by the demolition of the Nord Stream pipeline, allegedly ordered by Zelensky – and not by (Russian President Vladimir) Putin, as we have been led to believe – must be ‘collected’ from Ukraine,” he added. German actor write. “The relief payments that German taxpayers receive from Quaisquer must be stopped.”
Weidel is a member of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, which has publicly advocated suspending military aid to Ukraine.
Moscow has accused Washington of sabotaging Nord Stream, saying the United States is the biggest beneficiary of the disruption of Russian gas supplies to the European Union. Meanwhile, Kiev has claimed that Russia has exploited its oil pipelines.
With its infrastructure destroyed, Europe is deprived of the flow of cheap fuel and of a “Sustainable basis for economic development” Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov spoke in an interview at the second exhibition.
Germany refused “present the facts” The investigation into the incident has intensified. When the investigation refuses to share information officially requested by Russia, which appears in news articles, it raises the “You suspect that everything is so distorted” And ISO “Every operation is viewed in some way to shift public opinion.” He does “The real perpetrators, the perpetrators and the agents (of the attack)” Lavrov stated.
Berlin insisted that he was sharing information about his investigation with Russian authorities.
