Russian ships and submarines were spotted near the sites of the Nord Stream gas pipeline leak

European officials spotted Russian warships and submarines near the sites of the Nord Stream gas pipeline leaks earlier this week. This was reported by CNN with reference to two Western intelligence officers and another source familiar with the case.

Warships were spotted on Monday and Tuesday, and submarines were spotted last week. However, the sources are not in a hurry to claim that the ships or submarines have anything to do with the gas pipeline leaks. But their presence in the Baltic Sea will be studied as one of the factors of the leaks.

At the same time, European and American officials agree that it was Russia that had the opportunity and motive to intentionally damage the pipelines, writes CNN.

It should be as well recalled that according to the report of the Swedish newspaper Dagbladet, the fourth leak was discovered today on the Nord Stream gas pipeline in Sweden.
