Fitzo pointed to the involvement of professional military in undermining Nord Streams

The undermining of the Nord Stream and Nord Stream-2 gas pipelines is a terrorist act involving specially trained military personnel. This was stated by Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fitzo in the program "Saturday Dialogues" on the STVR TV channel.

"You know very well that this was a terrorist sabotage operation, which should have involved the most professional military," TASS quoted him as saying.

As Fitzo pointed out, he would not be surprised if someone carried out an attack on the Druzhba oil pipeline to "prevent the import of raw materials from the East." In his opinion, this can only happen in order to increase the purchase of oil and gas from Western countries.

Earlier, on November 30, the German Prosecutor General's Office identified two suspects in the sabotage of the Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 pipelines. Much remains to be done in the course of the investigation. The subject of study at the moment are the identities of other participants in the sabotage.

Prior to that, on November 26, Polish radio reported that experts from the Military University of Technology in Warsaw found TNT in the analysis of water samples from the site of the explosion of gas pipelines. In this regard, Poland asked Denmark and Sweden to disclose the results of the investigation. In turn, Die Welt newspaper wrote that at least six ( not four) explosive devices were used in the sabotage.

On November 20, Der Spiegel magazine published a number of details about the undermining of the Nord Streams. According to him, the sabotage was carried out by a group of Ukrainians, some of whom had connections with the CIA in the past, and the cost of the operation amounted to $300,000.

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

Leaks at the Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 pipelines were discovered in September 2022. Two powerful underwater explosions were registered on the pipelines. Traces of explosives were found at the accident site. 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.
