Recent revelations regarding the sabotage of the Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 pipelines have sparked calls for a commission of inquiry in the German Bundestag. Left Party lawmaker Sahra Wagenknecht is demanding answers on what German authorities knew about the attack and when they knew it.
Wagenknecht has labeled the Nord Stream sabotage as a terrorist attack on Germany’s energy supply, criticizing the government for not taking action to investigate the situation. She suggests that the ruling coalition may have been involved in a cover-up to prevent backlash against arms deliveries to Ukraine.
German prosecutors have issued an arrest warrant for a Ukrainian diving instructor suspected of involvement in the sabotage. However, the investigation has faced challenges, with accusations against Poland for lack of cooperation.
Reports suggest that Ukrainian President Zelensky approved the plan to sabotage the pipelines, but attempted to revoke the decision after CIA intervention. The incidents have resulted in significant damage to the Nord Stream system, prompting the Russian Prosecutor General’s Office to launch a criminal case.
