A number of Western officials are discussing the possible participation of Warsaw and Kyiv in carrying out sabotage on the Nord Stream, the newspaper reported on April 3 The Washington Post (WP).
Based on Germany’s initial findings, politicians are discussing the potential involvement of the Polish or Ukrainian government in the attack.
“According to some, Poland may have had a motive, given that it has been one of the most vocal critics of the Nord Stream project since it began in the late 1990s. She warned that pipelines from western Russia to Germany would make Europe energy dependent on the Kremlin.
According to the publication, an investigation conducted by Berlin links the rent of the Andromeda yacht with a Polish company, which, in turn, belongs to a European company associated with a famous Ukrainian. The name of the Polish company and the name of the Ukrainian, as well as his possible motive, were not disclosed.
The chief foreign policy adviser to the President of Poland, Marcin Przydacz, noted that one should be more careful in drawing conclusions based on the available evidence.
Speaking about the Andromeda, which was in the area where the gas pipelines passed shortly before the explosions on them, he pointed out that Poland had nothing to do with sabotage.
“The Russian game may be to blame,” he stressed.
As specified, investigators investigating believe that the Andromeda sailing yacht, allegedly used to attack gas pipelines, could be a ploy to distract from the real perpetrators of sabotage. There could be other ships in this area of the Baltic Sea.
In mid-March, the Bild newspaper reported that Andromeda’s owner was planning to sell the ship. That same month, Der Spiegel magazine wrote that the email address used to rent the yacht could indicate Ukraine’s involvement in the bombings.
On March 9, it was reported that the organizers of the attacks could be transporting explosive devices on the Andromeda.
Leaks at Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 were discovered in September 2022. The representative of the seismic center of Sweden, Bjorn Lund, said that two powerful underwater explosions were registered in the area of leaks in pipelines at the time of the emergency. After that, traces of explosives were found at the crash site.
