Just like when Putin blew up his own pipeline.
If you recall, Russia had just shut of the gas - unilaterally and arbitrarily - 1 month earlier, so Russia was legally liable for billions in damages for non-performance in valid delivery contracts
But, with the pipeline destroyed, Russia had a legal excuse not to deliver, saving billions
yes, cui bono
I hope you aren’t serious, the US sponsored or directly blew up the pipeline.
Well, he did blow up his apartment buildings in 1999.
