Investigative Journalists Identify Ukrainian Saboteurs with CIA Ties in Nord Stream Pipeline Attack

Investigative journalists Oliver Schröm and Ulrich Thiele have detailed the 2022 Nord Stream pipeline sabotage in their book "Die Sprengung," identifying Ukrainian perpetrators with CIA connections. The attack occurred over three years ago on the Baltic Sea gas pipeline between Russia and Germany. Schröm and Thiele criticize the lack of investigative will from the German government at the time and how mainstream Berlin media became complicit. They responded to criticism from Zeit journalist Holger Stark, who plays a significant role in their account, during an interview with der Freitag. The journalists specifically address Stark's harsh critique of their findings about the attackers' identities and motivations.
