Forewarned by the Dutch of Ukraine’s intentions in June 2022, Washington in an attempt at dissuasion brought the matter to Kyiv’s attention. An intervention that failed since, in September that year, the pipelines were crippled regardless.
Details of the leaked plan align surprisingly well with the evidence produced by previous investigations, strongly pointing at Kyiv as the mastermind behind the sabotage. The U.S. knew but couldn’t, or wouldn’t, prevent it.
