    So was it the the Russians who blew up their own Nord pipeline, or was it that Ukrainian guy with a yacht? It’s hard to keep track

          Except for the German federal prosecutors, Dutch officials, former Ukranian commander in chief, and the sabotage team themselves, I suppose you’re right.

          Days after the attack, in October 2022, Germany’s foreign secret service received a second tipoff about the Ukrainian plot from the CIA, which again passed on a report by the Dutch military intelligence agency MIVD. It offered a detailed account of the attack, including the type of boat used and the possible route taken by the crew, according to German and Dutch officials.

          Inasumuch as you can have a source for a covert operation after the fact.

            Can you link the direct source - like, statement of german police or official press conference?

            I’ve spent some time looking into this and found no direct sources.

            BTW, these articles are copypaste - There were bunch of much older (2023?) ones which I also failed to find any credible source for.

            EDIT: Correction, the first articles about this came out 3 months ago

            The part about Zelenski ordering sabotage while drunk has both no source and is utterly ridiculous.

              I agree. I also didn’t see it in the article -?

              If you want to find German federal prosecutor records, or Dutch itelligence reports - I’m not sure where to go for those.

              It pains me to say this but the WSJ, while being a Murdoch rag and certainly guilty of ridiculous bias in the way it reports things, isn’t really known for making up things whole cloth like the Daily Mail or something.
