The special services of Germany assume that the Nord Stream pipes will remain unusable forever - mass media

German intelligence agencies believe that three pipes of the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea may become permanently unusable after alleged acts of sabotage. This was reported by the German publication Tagesspiegel with reference to sources in government circles.

 

 It is claimed that if the pipelines are not repaired quickly, large amounts of salt water will enter and corrode them. Because the damage to the pipes is so extensive, a lot of water can get into them.

 

 Like the European Commission, Germany's security authorities and the federal intelligence service BND foresee an act of sabotage. Due to the complexity of the attack, experts and German government circles believe that it could only have been carried out by a government unit. It is assumed that Russia is behind this, but the motive remains unclear.

 

 The BND currently plays a leading intelligence role, evaluating satellite images of ship movements in the run-up to the blasts.

 

 One theory is that divers may have planted explosives in two Nord Stream-1 pipes and one of the two Nord Stream-2 pipes.

 

 According to information from Tagesspiegel, targeted explosions indicate that the gas leaks are huge, so the rate of pressure drop in the pipes was high.

 

 Not only Germany, but also Denmark and Sweden assume that it may be a sabotage.

 

 On Wednesday, September 28, the EU ambassadors will hold the first meeting regarding the incidents of gas leaks on the branches of the Russian gas pipeline "North Stream".
