Once again, Russia is placing the blame for the Nord Stream pipeline sabotage on the United States and the United Kingdom. Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), Sergey Naryshkin, has said: “It has long been known that the West uses international terrorism as a tool to achieve its geopolitical goals.”
Russia’s president, Vladimir Putin has long blamed the U.S. for the damages done to the pipeline.

The Nord Stream pipeline was built to deliver Russian gas to Germany and the rest of Western Europe. It was ruptured by explosions at the bottom of the Baltic Sea in September 2022.

“The Western intelligence agencies themselves also do not hesitate to resort to terrorist methods in fighting their opponents,” Naryshkin told the heads of security agencies and intelligence services from former Soviet republics on Tuesday. “The SVR possesses information about a direct involvement of professional saboteurs from the Anglo-American special services in this terrorist attack,” he stated.

Naryshkin noted that Nord Stream was a joint project between companies from Russia and other European countries, intended to provide “an uninterrupted supply of affordable Russian gas to Europe.”
“Meaning that Russia built it together with constructively minded Europeans, and the Anglo-Americans blew it up,” he said according to a report by RT.
The SVR head insisted that “destroying Nord Stream was an obsession not only of the Democratic but also of the Republican administration in the US.”
Russia hasn’t been the only entity to blame the U.S. for the Nord Stream pipeline’s destruction. Infamous American journalist, Seymour Hersh was one of the first to write about the “covert operation” that Washington conducted in order to completely destroy said pipeline.
