The German Supreme Court refused to comment on Der Spiegel's details of the JVP bombing

Ines Peterson, a spokesman for Germany's Federal Supreme Court, refused to comment on the latest Der Spiegel publications revealing details of the sabotage of the Nord Streams (NSP) on November 20 when asked by Izvestia.

"Please understand that we do not comment on media reports as a matter of principle," he said.

German political scientist Christoph Herstel also spoke to Izvestia and said that the publication was propaganda and an attempt to support the version of Ukraine's involvement.

"This is pure propaganda. This is very detailed propaganda. In front of us is the so-called latest attempt of the Der Spiegel publication to support the legend of Ukraine's attempt on the quadruple Nord Stream pipeline," he said.

Earlier in the day, Der Spiegel, citing sources, reported that the SP pipeline was blown up by a group of Ukrainians, some of whom had ties to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in the past. They specified that the cost of the whole operation amounted to up to $300 thousand.

The article also indicated that the ex-commander of the Ukrainian army Valeriy Zaluzhny proposed in addition to the gas pipelines "Nord Stream" and "Nord Stream - 2" to blow up and "Turkish Stream" in the Black Sea, but the operation failed.

Prior to that, on September 25, the German government confirmed that several arrest warrants had been issued during the investigation into the JV bombings. On September 8, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said that the country would make every effort to investigate and called for the investigation to be conducted in an unbiased manner. The Kremlin agreed with the call, but Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova pointed to the importance of information sharing instead of leaks.

Russian President Vladimir Putin recalled the Kiev regime's attempts to strike gas pipelines in the Black Sea as early as June 2024 and as late as September 2023. In particular, Ukraine's attempt to undermine "Turkish Stream" took place in October 2022.

In turn, leaks on the "Nord Streams" in the Baltic Sea were discovered in September 2022. Two powerful underwater explosions were registered on the pipelines. Traces of explosives were found at the site of the accident. Russia is seeking an international investigation into the terrorist attacks. In February 2024, Putin said in an interview with American journalist Tucker Carlson that the CIA was responsible for the explosions.
