Europe is facing a difficult winter of potential supply shortages as Russia has squeezed its natgas supplies to the continent. The EU has accused Russia of weaponizing supplies in retaliation for sanctions imposed over the country’s invasion of Ukraine.
Swedish authorities investigating leaks on two Baltic Sea natural gas pipelines said “detonations” damaged those facilities.
“After a crime scene investigation, the Security Police can state that there have been detonations at Nord Stream 1 and 2 in the Swedish economic zone, which have caused extensive damage to the gas pipelines,” said the Security Police in a statement. “The investigation has strengthened the suspicions of serious sabotage.”
The EU and U.S. have pointed a finger at Russia over the damaged pipelines, which are operated by state-owned Gazprom and carry natural gas from Russia to Europe under the Baltic Sea.
