Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.) said leaks in the Nord Stream pipelines were likely “an act by Russia” to place economic pressure on European allies of Ukraine.
European leaders have said leaks that have happened on Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2, two pipelines that carry natural gas under the Baltic Sea from Russia to Germany and supply Europe, may represent acts of intentional sabotage by Russia to punish Europe’s support of Ukraine.
“We’ve seen over and over [Russian President] Vladimir Putin use energy as a weapon against the West to try and undermine NATO’s unity in the face of his brutal invasion of Ukraine,” Coons said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has said that “deliberate actions” caused the leaks after seismologists detected explosions before the leaks began.
Coons said turning off the West’s access to Russia’s supply of natural gas is Putin’s only chance of weakening NATO’s resolve to support Ukraine, but strong bipartisan support remains in Congress to continue the aid.
Biden administration officials spoke to Danish officials on Tuesday on the “apparent sabotage” of the natural gas pipelines. U.S. officials have so far declined to speculate what could be causing the leaks.

Or the Environmentalist whackos.
Looks like a prediction I made earlier today was wrong:
“Within a week, there will be an all out propaganda campaign by Western leaders and MSM outlets to blame the sabotage on Russia.”
It wasn’t a week, it was within an hour!
Riiiiiiiiight.
Of the list of countries responsible for this act id put Russia near to the bottom though I wouldn’t put it past them.
Now I know it was the CIA.
Not one of our stellar “journalists” bothered to ask why Putin would blow up a pipeline he spent millions building.
Not one.
L
Well, if Coons says so...it must be!!! /s
It was climate change.
The ones squealing the loudest nearly always are the ones who committed the crime.
It would be stupid for Russia to kill its own cash flow.
The truth is that the Baltic is 200 feet deep on average and its greatest depth is 1500 feet. Many nations and actors have the capacity to accomplish explosions at those depths.
LOL please...Putin is deranged but he’s NOT stupid, why would be blow up a pipeline that makes him MILLIONS of dollars every single day..Biden already promised to “get rid of it” back in Feb, the US did this and Coons knows it, he also knows that if the truth came out that would be an impeachable offense
As far as I know, no one has their eyes directly on this pipeline
The party who appears least likely to have done it, probably did it.
they could have accomplished this just by closing the valve.
Sorry, but claiming Russia did it is just moronic. Russia is the one who lost the most through this sabotage.
Lies, lies, bald faced lies.
bs
