Berlin's knowledge of Nord Stream bombings revealed
The German leadership knew about the planned bombing of Russian gas pipelines.
In Berlin they received a message that sabotage was being planned in the Baltic Sea.
New details about the explosion of Nord Stream are reported by the German publication Der Spiegel, citing its sources.
No later than June 2022, German intelligence received an encrypted telegram.
This secret message stated that sabotage was being prepared.
The publication emphasizes that the government was also soon notified of the message received.
But the German cabinet office considered the information received to be unreliable. The government ignored the telegram.
For reference
Nord Stream 1 is a section of the main gas pipeline between Russia and Germany, which runs along the bottom of the Baltic Sea and is no longer operational after being sabotaged.
