Officials in Germany were provided with intelligence detailing a Ukrainian plot to blow up the Nord Stream pipelines months before the attack took place, but the warnings were ignored and no preventative measures were taken, an investigation has claimed.
If true, this failure to act turned out to be a miscalculation, and one which allowed the attackers on a budget of less than $300,000 to destroy the two pipelines on September 26th, 2022, and put Germany’s long-term energy supply in doubt. Despite some of the attackers allegedly having ties to the U.S. intelligence service, and President Joe Biden’s public threats to destroy the pipelines, the report claims that in June of 2022 the CIA’s representative met with Volodymyr Zelensky at the presidential palace in Kyiv to demand that the plan be called off.
Beyond the broader questions over whether the report is indeed factual, it is also unclear if Chancellor Scholz was made personally aware of the Nord Stream plot, the apparent failure of his government to act on key intelligence may serve to further damage his already waning popularity, given the economic and energy crises that befell Germany following the sabotage of the pipelines.
