Washington Post reports that European intelligence service told CIA Ukrainian military was planning attack
The Biden administration received an intelligence report thathad a plan for an attack on the Nord Stream pipelines three months before an underwater explosion disabled the natural gas link from Russia to Germany, the Washington Post has reported.
The Washington Post report was based on a larger leak of secret documents that was shared by a a US armed services member on the chat platform Discord. The reports, posted online by Air National Guard member Jack Teixeira, first came from a European intelligence agency later shared with the US and then Germany and then were corroborated by security officials from a number of countries, the Washington Post reported.
The intelligence, if true, would shed light on one of the murkiest incidents of Russia’s 15-month-old war in Ukraine, which has left Ukrainians fighting for their survival against one of the world’s largest standing armies. But the US had publicly opposed the new Nord Stream 2 project, putting pressure on Germany to halt its final authorisation shortly before Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022.
