The CIA warned Ukrainian officials last summer that it had learned of a plot to attack the Nord Stream pipelines, which carry natural gas from Russia to Europe, and reinforced its objection to any such operation. Explosions destroyed parts of the pipelines in September, and American intelligence agencies now believe the operation was carried out at least with the loose direction of the Ukrainian government, but they do not know who exactly planned the operation. German investigators later learned that a group of Ukrainians had rented a boat, loaded it with explosives and attacked the pipeline.
