Last year’s trio of explosions that ruptured the Nord Stream gas pipelines were orchestrated by a former senior Ukrainian military officer, the Washington Post reported Saturday.
The Post, citing anonymous Ukrainian and European officials as well as others with knowledge of the operation, published the report in conjunction with German periodical Der Spiegel.
The former military officer, identified Col. Roman Chervinsky, once had strong ties to the intelligence community and served as the covert operation’s “coordinator,” the newspaper said.
Chervinsky previously served in Ukraine‘s Special Operations Forces but The Post did not elaborate on his role there, although he has carried out special previous operations for Ukraine.
“The officer’s role provides the most direct evidence to date tying Ukraine’s military and security leadership to a controversial act of sabotage that has spawned multiple criminal investigations and that U.S. and Western officials have called a dangerous attack on Europe’s energy infrastructure,” The Post reported in the exclusive story.
Through a lawyer, Chervinsky denied any involvement in the operation.
Neither U.S. or Ukrainian military sources have commented on the report.
The story alleges Chervinsky and a six-person support team chartered a sailboat and used deep-sea diving capabilities to orchestrate the blasts.
In April a Kyiv court arrested Chervinskyi in connection with an allegedly unauthorized plot to hijack a Russian military fighter jet. Prosecutors said the scheme led to a Russian missile attack on Kanatove airfield on July 23, 2022.
He was identified by prosecutors as a former employee of Ukraine’s Main Directorate of Intelligence and the Security Service of Ukraine, as well as a former acting commander of one of the Ukrainian military’s Special Operation Forces units.
Three separate explosions rocked the Swedish Nord Stream 1 and 2 natural gas pipelines on Sept. 26, 2022.
An investigation later revealed traces of explosives at both rupture sites, pointing to sabotage as the cause. The report did not specify how the explosives were affixed the lines or who was behind their installation.
When fully operational, the twin pipeline system can transport up to 1.94 trillion cubic feet (55 billion cubic meters) of natural gas from Russia to Germany underneath the Baltic Sea.
As recently as April, Swedish prosecutors said determining the true cause behind the explosions would be difficult to uncover and may never be known.
The pipelines were not active at the time of the explosion but were still filled with natural gas when authorities noticed a sharp drop in pressure.
Look, I can categorically state that this story (lol) is total bullshit.
The Washington Post only publishes CIA crap for thicko sheeple grazers. No UKrainian would have the nouse to blow up a deep gas pipe in the Baltic Sea.
As far as I know, the Nazi SAS/SBS using a RN sub, carried out the Nord Stream terror attack. Sure, the US give the order, and they were in the area, but the British Nazi regime did it.
So.. let me get this straight..
after Nord Stream had been blown, this “Ukraine intelligence officer” must’ve immediatedly communicated that fact to Liz Truss – of all people! 😂 – who then texted Blinkey “It’s done!!!”
The CIA really ought to get better script-wtiters at WaPo… since I doubt even DUMB Yanks are dumb enough to fall for this one!!🤣
Nice blame game, but I’ll stick with the obvious
USA according to Rand report wants step out of
Ukraine debacle dividing public attention on Gaza
and blaming Ukraine as scapegoat for Northstream .
iniciator, know how + mainguilty is USA . no question .
Suuure he was, lol.
I peeked at the end..
Even if its true, who cares, since anti-white Commie Russia started the war, so anything that Ukraine does is simply self-defense.
Ukraine lost war
USA throwing Ukraine under the bus
Ukraine gets blamed for what Biden and Blinken did
Biden and Blinken escape prosecution for blowing Nordstream
does anyone actually believe Ukraine blew the deep underwater pipe?
(((Ukraine intelligence)))
Six Jewkrainian retards on a sailboat, eh? Sure. I really don’t think Jewkraine had the capability to blow up that pipeline, so they certainly got a lot of operational help from the criminally insane Jewnited States or Jew-K, if Jewkraine was involved at all.
It’s a lie! CIA O
nonsense that little shit carl jones would have said it was natzis natzis
all just bullshit
“If Russia invades, that means tanks or troops crossing the … border of Ukraine again, then there will be … no longer a Nord Stream 2. We, we will bring an end to it,” I guess Biden meant They will bring an end to it.
The abuse is brilliant. Please keep it up. The thickos can’t come to terms with the facts, they’ve been believing a pile of crap for countless decades.
