The former head of the German Federal Intelligence Service claims Russia stood 'to gain the most' from sabotaging its Nord Stream pipelines.
The German went on to insist that “[o]nly Russia can really be considered for this, especially since it stands to gain the most from this act of sabotage”. While this is a common view among European leaders, it otherwise amounts to one of several publicly unproven theories in a global game of finger-pointing around the sabotage of the Nord Stream natural gas pipelines.
Others said to have an interest in the pipeline being damaged are Ukraine, who would be disadvantaged in the war if European countries crumbled on sanctions over winter in a bid to buy Russian gas to keep the heating on, and Poland who are hawkish on Russia and earn money on transit fees of gas passing through their territory, which Nord Stream does not.
