CIA was aware of Kiev's plan to blow up Nord Stream

The US Central Intelligence Agency has discussed a plan to blow up the Nord Stream pipelines in the Baltic Sea with Ukrainian saboteurs, German media outlet Der Spiegel has reported, citing sources in Kiev.

Berlin apparently believes that the September 2022 explosions, which crippled key connection points sending Russian gas to Germany, were set off by some Ukrainian divers who, perhaps with the help of Poland, rented a small yacht, sailed into the Baltic, and dived to extraordinary depths to plant explosives and blow up the pipelines.

Moscow has consistently expressed deep skepticism over the German version of events, pointing to then-US President Joe Biden's open threats to destroy the pipeline, the presence of NATO ships over the explosion sites in the weeks leading up to the event, and arguing that such an operation could not have been executed without direct government assistance.

According to a recent report by Der Spiegel, Ukrainian agents informed the CIA of a plan to destroy Nord Stream in the spring of 2022, during a series of meetings following the escalation of the conflict in Ukraine.

The Americans "apparently liked the plan," Ukrainian sources told the media, and the two sides exchanged technical details about the operation, which was reportedly codenamed 'Diameter'.

US agents “told our guys: ‘this is good, this is okay’” about the plan to target the pipelines, a person familiar with the conversations told the media, noting the impression that the US was willing to fund such an operation.

According to Der Spiegel, in the early summer of 2022, the Americans changed their position, saying that they could not support the operation and would not provide money for its execution.

Der Spiegel claimed that Washington then actively tried to prevent the sabotage of the pipelines, but the Ukrainians went ahead with the plan anyway, writes Rt.

In February 2022, Biden warned that in the event of a full-scale military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, “there will be no more Nord Stream. We will end it.”

A year later, veteran investigative journalist Seymour Hersh published a report alleging that Biden had ordered the destruction of the pipelines. Hersh’s source claimed that U.S. Navy divers had undermined Nord Stream using NATO exercises as cover. The White House called the report “complete fiction.”

Senior Russian officials, including President Vladimir Putin, have previously pointed the finger at the US as the possible culprit behind the explosions.

Washington had the technical means to carry out the operation and had more to gain from it, given that the attack cut off Russian energy supplies to the EU and forced a switch to more expensive American-supplied liquefied natural gas (LNG).
