Yesterday evening<\/a>, pressure in the undersea Nord Stream 2 pipeline suddenly collapsed, and\u00a0gas could be seen bubbling to the surface of the Baltic Sea near the Danish island of Bornholm<\/a>. Shortly afterwards, reports came of a total collapse in the pressure of our other major undersea pipeline connection to Russia, Nord Stream 1, indicating a further rupture.<\/p>\n

Government officials assume that the damage is intentional, and the result of an attack by foreign forces<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Due to the timing, the fact that three separate pipelines were affected1<\/a>, and the severe pressure losses in Nord Stream 1, officials expect the worst. \u201cWe can no longer imagine any scenario other than a targeted attack,\u201d said a person privy to the assessment by the federal government and federal authorities. They added: \u201cEverything speaks against a coincidence.\u201d<\/p>\n

Such an attack on the seabed would be anything but trivial; it would have to be carried out with special forces \u2013 for example, by navy divers or a submarine, people informed of initial assessments said.<\/p>\n

With regard to responsibility for the alleged attacks, two possibilities are being discussed. First, according to initial speculation, Ukrainian or\u00a0Ukrainian-affiliated forces<\/strong> could be responsible. With the temporary shutdown of the Nord Stream pipelines, gas deliveries from Russia to Germany and Central Europe would only be possible via the Yamal pipelinje running through Poland or the Ukrainian pipeline network.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
