If the United States attacked the Nord Stream gas pipelines and “Nord Stream 2, their next target could be the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP). This was announced on Sunday, October 2, by the chairman of the Bulgarian Renaissance party, Kostadin Kostadinov.
“As you can see, they blew up Nord Stream. If something like this happens with nuclear power plants, God help Europe. It doesn’t matter to the Americans, they are on another continent, several thousand kilometers away, on the other side of the ocean, ”the Sputnik Far Abroad Telegram channel quotes him as saying.
Earlier, on September 28, the Pentagon assured that the United States was “absolutely not involved” in the incidents at Nord Stream.
Meanwhile, on September 30, a retired American colonel, ex-adviser to the head of the Pentagon, Douglas McGregor, expressed the opinion that either the United States or Great Britain could carry out an attack on Nord Stream. He noted the absurdity of Russia’s accusations of organizing accidents. It was unprofitable for Moscow to destroy an expensive project. In addition, the Russian side, the expert added, has considerable income from the export of energy resources.
The authorities of Sweden, Denmark and Germany believe that we are talking about sabotage. Russia opened a criminal case on the fact of an act of international terrorism. Experts point out that gas pipelines were damaged as a result of targeted explosions.
On September 28, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova recalled the words of US President Joe Biden and US Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, who threatened to stop Nord Stream 2 in the event of Russia’s “invasion” of Ukraine.
The day before, a former member of the UN commission on biological and chemical weapons, military expert Igor Nikulin, told Izvestia that the gas leak could have been a planned sabotage ordered by the United States or Great Britain. The performers, in his opinion, could be other countries – Ukraine and Poland. He noted that both of them have detachments of combat swimmers who could perform such a task.
A gas leak was discovered on September 26 at once on two Russian export pipelines – Nord Stream and Nord Stream – 2. The representative of the seismic center of Sweden, Bjorn Lund, said that two powerful underwater explosions were registered in the area of leaks that day.
At present, the pressure in the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline has stabilized, the gas leak has stopped, as all the fuel has come out. The situation is similar in SP.
It is noted that the restoration of Nord Stream will require tens of millions of euros.
