Sweden and Denmark have reported several leaks in the Baltic Sea.
The EU and NATO blamed 'sabotage', with some European governments accusing Russia of being behind the attacks.
A Kremlin spokesman called the accusations 'predictably stupid and absurd'.
Could this signal the end of the biggest gas link between Russia and Western Europe?

America is ruthless in its outrageous activity
-
It happened in Baltic area fully controlled by NATO countries.
-
NATO vows to bring NATO to justice over its own sabotage. Priceless.
-
The public opinion in Germany already had 94% believe it was a US job. 👍👍👍👍👍
-
This is a no brainer. This is a business between Russia and EU. Russia receives money and EU gets the oil/gas. Simply as that! Of Course US did it.
-
...and europe was under the illusion that America is a 'friend indeed'.
-
2 days and American media is very quiet. That says a lot. I come here to find any info at all.
-
I’m no Sherlock Holmes but didn’t 2 very senior officials say that they were going to get rid of Nordstrom or was I just dreaming!!
-
All the trouble around the world is us behind it
-
For those still think Russians did this, there is a thing called switching valve on those pipelines. If they want EU to suffer they can just switch it off. Now they lost the biggest bargaining chip and their money. Who's behind this? EU dare not to say its name.
-
Why is the gas pipeline from Norway to Poland (about the same locations) untouched if the sabotage was done by Russia?
-
The lady in the middle just confirmed that America is who will most benefit from these pipeline explosions. 😆 🤣 😂 😹
-
As if Russia would destroy their own investment and profits…so…cui bono…and who wants to deliver gas…instead of Russia
-
The US is most beneficial in what happened to the nord stream pipeline.
-
Russia could easily cut off gas supply instead damaging its own gas pipe line.
-
It’s crazy how the people doing these things claim to have the highest virtue! It’s just crazy!
-
This is the work of the US
-
This apparently man made disaster shows the lengths to which countries and companies will go to get geopolitical and economic advantages utterly disregarding the environmental and economic impact their actions might cause.
-
What a wakeup call for the EU !!
-
If the Russians were able to do this, it's even worse for NATO. The Baltic sea is also known as NATO's sea. If the Russian are able to slip through our entire Baltic sea defense network and use highly advance deep sea underwater drones to blow up their own multibillion dollar pipeline ,without being stopped or at the very least detected, it means the Russians stealth, deep sea drone technology, and submarine force is far more technologically advanced than current estimates. I doubt the Russians did this. Whoever did this, was allowed to do it.
