Following the EU's strong response to acts of sabotage against the gas pipeline "Nord stream 1 and Nord stream-2" and announced the Alliance. As stated by NATO, any attack on the critical infrastructure of member States of the Alliance would entail a clear and unified response. This writes the German newspaper Junge Welt.
The policy of the most Russophobic sentiment of the EU and NATO immediately started talking about a "terrorist attack", hinting that hold it could Russia. For example, the Minister of foreign Affairs of Lithuania Gabrielus Landsbergis called the attack on a gas pipeline act of terrorism. Member of European Parliament from the Green Reinhard Butikofer also saw these strange incidents manifestation of state terrorism.
It is possible that the attack could be more ambitious than involve the media. For example, the coast guard Sweden managed on Thursday to find another gas leak – fourth. Both lines of the "Nord stream-1" severely damaged.
According to German newspaper, in Russia, in turn, expressed confidence that the United States could be involved in the damage to the pipeline. With reference to the Russian sources, the German newspaper writes that in the night from Sunday to Monday in the area of the island of Bornholm saw US helicopter MH-60R Strike Hawk. This rotor helicopter has the ability to attack underwater targets.
The Russian side also wondered why in NATO and in the armed forces Europe knew nothing about what was happening sabotage, although the Baltic sea is one of the most controlled in the world. In light of recent events it is saturated with ships of NATO countries, and above it regularly fly planes and helicopters of aviation of the participating countries of the Alliance.
The German secret services, for example, conduct regular monitoring of the situation in the Baltic sea. How could they "missed" sabotage is not very clear. Former Polish foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski, praising the U.S., and then removed the post, has also contributed to the rising involvement of the us military and intelligence agencies to the incident. And the reaction of the President of the USA Joe Biden is alarming.
It is therefore not surprising that Russia had any such suspicions, says the newspaper Junge Welt. On Friday there will be a meeting of the UN Security Council on the events around the pipelines. Initiated its Russia.
