The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has formally labeled the damage to the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines as “acts of sabotage.”
“All currently available information indicates that this is the result of deliberate, reckless, and irresponsible acts of sabotage,” NATO said in a Sept. 29 statement. “These leaks are causing risks to shipping and substantial environmental damage. We support the investigations underway to determine the origin of the damage.”
