According to the latest news from the US media,Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky approved a plan to blow up the Nord Stream gas pipeline, after which the CIA asked him to cancel the operation, and Zelensky agreed., but the former commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Zaluzhny insisted on pushing forward, which eventually led to the Nord Stream explosion that shocked the world.

At the end of September 2022, Russia's main gas pipeline to Europe, Nord Stream 1, and the unused Nord Stream 2 pipeline, had four leaks in the waters near Sweden and Denmark. The Swedish measuring station had detected a strong underwater explosion in the area where the pipeline leaked. All parties generally believed that the incident was "deliberate sabotage."

By February 2023,Hersh, a well-known American investigative journalist and Pulitzer Prize winner, wrote that the Nord Stream Pipeline was secretly sabotaged by the US intelligence agencies and the US military.Senior Russian officials, including Putin, have also pointed the finger at Washington, saying the United States would benefit most from a disruption in Russian gas supplies to the European Union. But the U.S. government denies this. Russia has repeatedly called for a joint investigation, but Western countries have rejected it.

The US media recently released another version of the incident, namely that Ukraine formulated and implemented the Nord Stream blasting plan.

The idea of ​​blowing up Nord Stream reportedly came to Ukraine in May 2022, several months after the Russian-Ukrainian conflict broke out.The plan, which was proposed over drinks by some senior Ukrainian military officers and businessmen, would reduce Russia's energy revenues and make the EU less dependent on Russia.
