A new investigation revealed that German authorities had advance information about a potential attack on the Nord Stream gas pipelines, but no measures were taken to protect them.
German authorities, it turns out, had advance information about a potential attack on the Nord Stream gas pipelines, but no protective measures were taken. These sensational conclusions are presented in the investigative book "Sabotage," written by German journalists Oliver Schröm and Ulrich Tile.
The authors of the book claim that a warning from Western intelligence services was received months before the incident itself. Notably, according to their information, this data was much more detailed than previously reported and included intelligence from the Netherlands.
Among other things, these materials mentioned the name of former Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valerii Zaluzhnyi as a potential participant in the events. However, despite such serious warnings, security measures were not strengthened.
The book convincingly demonstrates that even the existence of such warnings did not prompt German authorities to take active measures. Moreover, the topic of these signals was not addressed at a meeting of the Bundestag oversight body, where Wolfgang Schmidt, then head of the department under Chancellor Olaf Scholz, was present.
According to the journalists, information about warnings from foreign intelligence services, including specific instructions from the CIA and information from The Hague, remained without proper discussion.
