The Biden administration knew about the Nord Stream attack three months ahead of time.
The Biden administration apparently knew three months ahead of time that the Nord Stream natural gas pipeline was a target of a covert attack by a small team of Ukrainian divers who reported directly to the commander in chief of the armed forces of Ukraine.
The details of the plan were reportedly uncovered by a European intelligence service and subsequently shared with the CIA in 2022, per The Washington Post.
The reporting by European intelligence had been shared on Discord, a social media platform, which had been part of a leak of a trove of documents by Air National Guardsman Jack Teixeira. This information from Teixeira provides the most specific evidence linking the Ukrainian government to the attack that took place in the Baltic Sea. The US and other Western nations have condemned the attack as a dangerous act of sabotage on Europe’s energy infrastructure.
The pipeline brought much-needed natural gas from Russia to Germany.
