There are two possibilities, since this damage was intentional. On the political side, there has been discussions in Europe to reopen the pipelines to save their economy. This sabotage makes that impossible, and Europe is now in some deep economic trouble. There will be no relief from these crippling high gas prices.
So who did it? The damage is in deep water, this was either caused by submarine or a deep water dive team with heavy topside support.
Russia? why?
An EU member? why?
UK? why?
Ukraine? Hmmm...
Or someone else who has an interest in prolonging this war?
Who benefits?
We may never know the truth of who attacked the pipeline and why.
But this “incident” could be used as a great propaganda tool.
