Seven months after explosions severed three of Russia's four Nord
Stream gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea, German investigators are now
pursuing leads that point to Ukraine as the responsible country. At
the same time, a multinational consortium of European investigative
journalists has also found leads pointing to Kiev.

A long-running Western propaganda campaign -- abetted by media that's
credulous at best and complicit at worst -- would have us believe
Russia blew up pipelines that took the country 15 years of
construction -- and painstaking diplomacy to overcome U.S.
interference -- to bring to reality.

According to The Times of London, Germany's Federal Office of Criminal
Investigation (BKA) has investigated Russian naval movements that have
been declared "suspicious," but found nothing that suggests Moscow is
responsible for the attack.

Rather, BKA investigators are now focusing on a yacht that sailed from
the German port of Rostock weeks before the explosions. That 15-meter
yacht -- the Andromeda -- was hired from a Polish company, and docked
at a tiny Danish island near the blast site. Most strikingly,
investigators found traces of "military-grade and
underwater-deployable" explosives on the vessel.

Given the complexity of the operation, the BKA believes a government
must have backed the undertaking, and has found evidence pointing to
Ukraine, via a shell company -- a travel agency -- formed by two
Ukrainians in Warsaw. According to the team of journalists, the
purported travel agency is one of more than 100 entities listed at a
single address. In 2022, the travel agency, which had a Ukrainian
woman named as president, received about $3 million for no documented
reason.

According to the BKA's working theory, five men and one woman with
forged Romanian and Bulgarian passports entered Germany before using
the yacht as a base for expert divers who planted the charges more
than 200 feet below the sea. Germans have identified two other people
-- Ukrainians -- who were aboard the vessel. Journalists say one of
them is a Ukraine infantry veteran.

It's an intriguingly detailed scenario -- and quite different from
Seymour Hersh's own blockbuster account. Citing unnamed national
security sources, the legendary investigative journalist reported in
February that the United States blew up the pipeline, in a plan
crafted by the CIA with the cooperation of Norway and executed by US
Navy divers deploying from a Norwegian mine-hunting vessel.

Meanwhile, Hersh has just reported that Ukraine's neighbor's are
quietly pressuring President Zelensky to find a way to bring the
15-month-old war to an end -- with some apparently willing to
compensate him personally for doing so
