In the Baltic Sea, the hypothesis of sabotage on the Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines is favored, Wednesday, September 28, to explain the spectacular leaks. Russia denies any involvement.

On the surface of the Baltic Sea, since Monday, September 26, we can see a bubbling which comes from a massive leak of gas from the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines, which occurred off the coast of Denmark. A probable sabotage with multiple consequences. As soon as the underwater explosions became known, the European market took off, with an increase in 10% the price of natural gas.

These gas pipelines, located between Russia andGermany, are installed between 70 and 100 meters deep. A site that requires means to reach it. “The most plausible hypothesis is an underwater vehicle, drone type, piloted either from the surface or from another submarine”explains General Christophe gomartformer head of military intelligence. Only one State would therefore have the capacity to mount such an operation. For some experts, it could be a strategy of the master of the Kremlin to maintain chaos on the energy market, and show his ability to intervene. Russia has denied any involvement.
