Following Denmark, Sweden shares information about a gas leak on the Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline. The shipping service of this northern European state reports that a gas leak has been established from the gas pipeline in that part of it that belongs to the Swedish exclusive economic zone.
Swedish side:
The leak sites in our special economic zone and in the same zone in Denmark are located not far from each other - to the northeast of the island of Bornholm. The reason for the leaks is not yet clear.
Meanwhile, in Sweden, there are suggestions that the violation of the integrity of the pipes of the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines was deliberate. A similar hypothesis is put forward in the German edition of Tagesspiegel:
There is no explicable scenario in which problems with the gas pipeline can be purely technical.
Member of the Greens party Jürgen Trittin, who is a member of the Bundestag, said that "underwater sabotage" could have taken place. At the same time, Germany admits that it is extremely difficult to carry out sabotage on an underwater gas pipeline, technical capabilities are needed. The German parliament is seriously afraid that gas to Germany through the Nord Stream may never go.
Trittin:
We are dealing with a major speculation and a major issue.
After the news about the problems in gas pipelines, the price of gas in Europe went up again after falling to $1600. At the moment, the price of gas on the EU exchanges is about $1830 per 1000 cubic meters.
