As you should know, pressures in the one functional pipeline dropped to near zero so for all purposes, Russia&#8217;s natural gas pipeline to Germany is cut. Amazing how a natural disaster like that happened the same day a pipeline from Norway to German was opened. almost as if the Russians were escalating the pressure on Euro energy markets.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;We can clearly see that this is an act of sabotage, an act that probably means a next step of escalation in the situation that we are dealing with in Ukraine,\u201d Morawiecki said.<\/p>\n<p>Anders Puck Nielsen, a researcher with the Center for Maritime Operations at the Royal Danish Defence College, said the timing of the leaks was \u201cconspicuous\u201d given the ceremony for the Baltic Pipe. He said perhaps someone sought \u201cto send a signal that something could happen to the Norwegian gas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe arrow points in the direction of Russia,\u201d Puck Nielsen said. \u201cNo one in the West is interested in having any kind of instability in the energy market.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The extent of the damage means the Nord Stream pipelines are unlikely to be able to carry any gas to Europe this winter even if there was political will to bring them online, analysts at the Eurasia Group said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketwatch.com\/story\/swedish-seismic-network-registers-blasts-near-baltic-natgas-pipeline-leaks-01664292442?siteid=yhoof2\">MarketWatch<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Russians are coyly admitting it without saying it..<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Asked if the leaks may have been caused by sabotage, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said \u201cno version could be excluded.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is an unprecedented situation that requires an urgent investigation.
