US Intelligence Had Prior Knowledge of Ukrainian Plot to Bomb Nord Stream Pipeline.
The Biden administration received intelligence from a European ally in June 2022 that the Ukrainian military had planned a covert attack on the Nord Stream natural gas pipeline using a small team of divers. The intelligence report, which has not been previously reported, provides some of the most specific evidence to date linking the government of Ukraine to the eventual attack in the Baltic Sea. The highly specific details show that for nearly a year, Western allies have had a basis to suspect Kyiv in the sabotage. Despite initial skepticism, U.S. intelligence officials have long been concerned about aggressive operations by Ukraine that could escalate the war into a direct conflict between Russia and the United States and its NATO allies.
