In his opinion, the reason for the decision to blow up the Russian gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea was that the conflict in Ukraine for the West “was not going very well and they were afraid of the approaching winter”, writing RIA News .
Nord Stream 2 was suspended by Germany itself, not international sanctions, and Washington feared German authorities would lift the sanctions due to the cold winter, Hersh said.
Recall that Seymour Hersh, winner of the Pulitzer Prize, published an article on his investigation of the Nord Stream explosions. He claims that American divers placed explosives under the gas pipelines. They did this last summer under the guise of NATO’s Baltops exercise, and in September the Norwegians activated it by dropping a sonar buoy from an aircraft which set off the bombs.
Hersh later said that Biden, out of fear, postponed the Nord Stream explosion from June to September last year.
It should be noted that after Hersh’s article, the Chinese Foreign Ministry called on US authorities to explain themselves to the world community. If the findings of the Hersh investigation are true, American behavior will be deemed unacceptable. Beijing stressed that Washington will be held accountable for its actions and “will explain itself to the world community”.
