Putin explains Germanys stance on Nord Stream sabotage by lack of independence
ULAN UDE, March 15. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin explained Germany’s stance regarding last year’s sabotage attack on the Nord Stream gas pipelines by the fact that Germany has never been truly independent after World War II. Even European politicians themselves have repeatedly acknowledged publicly that Germany has never been a fully sovereign country after the Second World War. I didn’t say that, but at least one well known and respected German politician did. I can only agree to that, the Russian president told journalist Pavel Zarubin in an interview aired on Rossiya 1. The statement came as a response to the question of why Berlin remained silent and inactive regarding the Nord Stream sabotage, despite the project’s importance for German economy and energy security. Putin emphasized that, at some point, the Soviet Union withdrew its troops and ended its de facto occupation of the country. But, as we all know, the Americans did not. They continue to occupy Germany, he added. On September 27, 2022, Nord Stream AG reported unprecedented damage that occurred the day before on three strings of the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 offshore gas pipelines. On September 26, 2022, Swedish seismologists registered two explosions on the pipeline routes. The Russian Prosecutor Generala s Office subsequently opened a criminal case based on charges of international terrorism.
