I’m curious about what we’d learn about it in the end. Was it an action to make EU speed up their cuts on russian gas? To put more weight onto existing pipes going through Ukraine? What other parties knew about that?
This article puts some additional accent on Germany’s opposition to that. It makes some sense in the context of them funding the NordStream project whose pipes were cut (while being inactive), but even more so - if we learn how many russian fingers were in their cake. The codependency between this european industrial giant and Kremlin goes as far as putting ex-Chancellor Gerhard Schröeder on the board of russian resource-extracting firm, as a thank-you retirement gift. It’s good their police do their job, but you’d need to think twice if they do this for their own interests alone.
