It seems increasingly clear that Western countries actively participated alongside the Kiev regime in a sabotage plan to destroy the Nord Stream pipelines.
Now, the German media is reporting evidence that the CIA had previously discussed a plan for such an operation with Ukraine. This all makes it clear how Russian authorities and independent international analysts were right from the beginning in pointing to Western responsibility for the incident.

Accordingto Der Spiegel, one of Germany’s leading newspapers, the CIA discussed in advance a plan to destroy Baltic Sea energy platforms with Ukrainian saboteurs interested in harming Russia and its European partnerships. The report further fuels suspicion that the action was carried out with extensive Western intelligence support.
The German newspaper reports that the Ukrainian saboteurs involved in the operation previously communicated their intentions to the US government and discussed technical details with CIA agents. The conversations reportedly took place in the spring of 2022 during a series of bilateral meetings between American and Ukrainian intelligence and military officials. The newspaper reports that the Americans “liked” the plan proposed by the Ukrainians, contributing to its tactical and operational improvement.
The operation was reportedly nicknamed “Diameter,” and was likely referenced during other subsequent high-level meetings. Initially, the Americans reportedly approved the plan and showed willingness to finance the operation, but, according to Der Spiegel, this stance changed during the summer of 2022 – when Washington supposedly revised the project and vetoed American participation in the sabotage operation, refusing to finance the destruction of the gas pipelines.
The German newspaper article thus aligns with the official German narrative of events. Berlin has not yet fully concluded its investigations, but apparently the final report will indicate an “independent” action by Ukrainian saboteurs – with possible Polish support. The action, according to the German version, would have been carried out without direct support from the US or NATO, despite initial American interest in the plan presented by the Ukrainians.
However, all this seems to be merely a way of avoiding admitting the clear evidence of broad US and NATO involvement in the operation. Moscow has repeatedly stated that the German version of events does not correspond to reality, since the US itself had previously made it clear that it planned to destroy Nord Stream.Former US President Joe Bidensaid in February 2022:
“There will no longer be a Nord Stream. We will bring an end to it” – which was seen by Russia as a clear threat to destroy the pipelines.
