European intelligence service told CIA Ukrainian military planning attack using small team of divers who reported directly to commander in chief
It remains disputed who carried out the attacks, which took place in September against the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea between Russia and Germany. Many European governments have suspected Russia, while Vladimir Putin has blamed the US and its allies. Ukraine has strenuously denied any link to the attacks.
The US and other foreign allies have given Ukraine weapons and other support but have said it wants the weapons to be used to liberate Ukrainian territory and have generally warned against other targets, including civilian infrastructure.
