Possibly aiming to deflect attention from Seymour Hersh’s bombshell Nord Stream report, the usual suspects in the pro-Biden media have published poorly-sourced rumors seeking to pin the blame for the Nord Stream attack on vague “pro-Ukrainian groups” not tied to anyone important. Russian embassy spokesman Andrey Ledenev pointed out how quickly the strange reports were picked up worldwide, in stark contrast to the much more detailed report by Seymour Hersh, which has been completely ignored by the same media.
The New York Times published a rambling and nearly incoherent report claiming “new intelligence reviewed by U.S. officials suggests that a pro-Ukrainian group carried out the attack on the Nord Stream pipelines last year.”
At the same time, German pubweb ARD and leftist “Die Zeit” weekly also published their own fishy fishing expedition, citing German investigators and claiming they had identified a Ukrainian-owned Polish private yacht which was chartered by five men and a female doctor: A skipper, two divers and two dive assistants. Their identity and nationality was unclear.
The yacht allegedly set to sea Sept. 6 from Rostock, Germany and was later localized near Danish island Christiansø northeast of Bornholm, where the Nord Stream attack took place Sept. 26. Allegedly, the international team of saboteurs forgot to clear up their tracks and returned the boat with traces of explosives on the kitchen table, the German report claims. The investigators allegedly even found two fake passports used by the saboteurs.
“Even if traces lead to Ukraine, the investigators have not yet been able to find out who hired the group of suspected perpetrators. In international security circles, it is not ruled out that it could also be a false flag operation. This means that traces could also have been deliberately laid that point to Ukraine as the culprit. However, the investigators have apparently found no evidence that confirms such a scenario,” Holger Stark writes in Die Zeit.
US Russian Embassy counselor Andrey Ledenev called the reports “an attempt to confuse those who are sincerely trying to get to the bottom of things in this egregious crime. Shift the blame from the statesmen who ordered and coordinated the attacks in the Baltic Sea to some abstract individuals. We are convinced that in the end justice will prevail. We shall spare no effort for this to happen.”
Russia has “no faith in the ‘impartiality’ of the conclusions of the US intelligence,” Ledenev said, pointing out how quickly the new, anonymously sourced articles were picked up world wide, in stark contrast to the Hersh report, which has been resoundingly ignored by all major Western media. “We noticed the mentioned article instantly got a ‘green light’ in the local information field, literally being all over the media in a heartbeat,” Ledenev said.
“This is especially noteworthy given the attempts of the local officials and journalists to blatantly silence the resonant material of the Pulitzer Prize winner Seymour Hersh on the same topic. As well as the administration’s opposition to launching a comprehensive and independent investigation into this act of international terrorism against critical energy infrastructure.”
A senior aide to Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, told The Guardian the government in Kyiv was “in no way involved in the attack” on Nord Stream. “In the midst of a war … Ukraine and its allies would definitely not spend resources on something that would not bring us victory directly on the battlefield. It doesn’t make any sense. But it is extremely beneficial for Russia itself to try to switch attention from the war … and try to present itself as a kind of ‘victim’,” the unnamed source claimed.

I’d argue the CIA IS a Pro-Ukrainian Terror org..
🔝🔝
To find out who did it, ask who benefited, who denied doing it, who refuses to investiate who did it.
“That is an amazing bomb that can spew residue all over passports from an explosion 200 feet underwater.”
Generally, people get that kind of residue on themselves from crafting and handling the explosives, prior to detonation.
“and might vote out their politicians who are total lackeys of the US”
Ha! If the Germans haven’t voted Hausfrau Merkel out by now, they never will.
You realize where the pipeline was targeted was in shallow water, not at the bottom of the Marianas trench, right?
I cannot think of a more “pro-Ukrainian group” than the Joe Stolen/”Que mala” Harris regime and their henchmen right here in the US. This was no casual “one-off” action by amateurs, this was done by skilled undersea demolitions experts in the employ of a well-financed agency. The threads keep on circling back to a very limited list of suspects.
Who had the means, motive, and opportunity? I leave that to speculation by others, but the signposts are all up and ready to direct to the real perpetrators. Whoever it was, this was an act of war.
Sure they do. And then rub it all over their passports. Surrrre. And one of the passports, that totally exists, had a MAGA hat on it.
nah man,seedy in texas will be all over this.
LOL

Biden is the only one who publicly threatened to blow it up!
.
On February 7, 2022, in the buildup to the war in Ukraine, the president of the United States, Joe Biden, at a press conference at the White House with German chancellor Olaf Scholz, said that we can stop Nord Stream.
The exact wording from Joe Biden was “If Russia invades, there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2, we will bring an end to it.” And when a reporter asked how exactly he intended to do it, given that the project was within the control of Germany, Biden just said, “I promise we will be able to do it.”

Here’s an interview with that original author Seymour Hersh.

Never believe anything until officially denied.
“Sure they do. And then rub it all over their passports”
Be skeptical all you want, but there’s a reason those explosive sniffing machines at the airport can detect minute traces on the bodies and clothing of people who have handled explosives, even if the explosives never detonated. And your sarcasm won’t change that fact.
Okay, I will. I doubt the whole yacht story for starters.
your sarcasm won’t change that fact.
We're not talking about facts. We're talking about some BS CYA story about who did or did not blow up the pipeline.
“We’re not talking about facts.”
I’m talking about facts. You can talk about whatever you want, but the only thing I commented on was facts.
Bigfoot is well over 400lbs and can rip your arm off. That's a fact. Factually speaking, I am skeptical that Bigfoot even exists, so the fact of the matter is...not a real thing.
“A “pro-Ukainian” activist group? Lol.
Isnt that what we are?”
Exactly. Next they’ll say it was an accident.
residue from the explosive still on it!

LOL —- These fiction writers are trying to add in some CSI like garbage “evidence” to increase credibility.
Yes. And I still stand by my conclusion.
Rub-a-dub-dub, six men in a tub...
