Advisor to Head of Ukrainian President's Office responds to NYT article on Ukrainian trace in blowing up Nord Stream pipelines
Mykhailo Podoliak, an adviser to the Head of the Ukrainian President’s Office, has said that Ukraine was not involved in the explosions at the Russian Nord Stream gas pipeline and had no information about any pro-Ukrainian agents who could have done it.
Source: Podoliak's comment after The New York Times posted an article, citing sources in the United States, as reported by European Pravda
Quote: "Although I enjoy collecting amusing conspiracy theories about Ukrainian government, I have to say: Ukraine has nothing to do with the Baltic Sea mishap and has no information about "pro-Ukrainian sabotage groups". What happened to the Nord Stream pipelines? "They sank," as they say in RF itself...," Podoliak said.
Хоча я люблю колекціонувати цікаві конспірологічні теорії про український уряд, мушу зазначити: Україна не має стосунку до казусу в Балтійському морі та не має інформації щодо «про-🇺🇦 груп із підриву». Що сталося з «Північними потоками»? «Вони затонули», як кажуть у самій Рф…

Background: The New York Times published an article, citing its sources and data from the intelligence community. It allegedly suggests that non-governmental groups, including Russians and Ukrainians, were behind the explosion of the Nord Stream gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea.
It is also stated that there is no evidence of the involvement of either the official Ukrainian authorities or the US or British citizens in the attack, as the Russian side has repeatedly claimed, or the government of Russia itself, which Ukraine and some other European countries considered guilty of blowing up its gas pipelines to destabilise the energy market in Europe.
