Ukrainians linked to the Nord Stream pipeline bombing reportedly discussed their plans with contacts associated with the CIA in early 2022, according to a German publication.
A report from the German weekly 'Der Spiegel' claims that Ukrainians connected to the Nord Stream pipeline bombing in 2022 communicated plans with individuals associated with the CIA. This information is based on sources in Ukraine who had knowledge of contacts between a Ukrainian sabotage team and American officials. The German investigators later confirmed the accuracy of this information.
As per the report, members of the Ukrainian sabotage team met with former CIA contacts in Kyiv during the spring of 2022, where they initially introduced their intentions regarding actions against the pipelines that enabled Russia to fund its war against Ukraine. According to sources, the CIA representatives showed interest in the proposals and did not express objections during the discussions.
Subsequent meetings took place to further discuss technical details, and during the second meeting, the Ukrainians reportedly sensed that the American side was actively engaging in the conversation. This development suggests a collaborative dynamic that could have far-reaching implications for understanding international responses to the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, particularly regarding sabotage operations and strategic alliances.
