The circumstances have not yet been finally clarified. But the EU suspects sabotage behind the leaks in the Nord Stream pipelines. External representative Borrell threatens a “robust” reaction.
The European Union considers sabotage to be the likely cause of the leaks in the Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines and has threatened to take countermeasures. “All available information indicates that these leaks are the result of a deliberate act,” said EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell on behalf of the 27 member states. Any intentional disruption to Europe’s energy infrastructure will “be met with a robust and common response.”
