My Comments:
The attack on the Nordstream pipeline took place near Bornholm Island (black circle) inside the territory of Denmark which is a NATO member. Denmark and NATO are indirectly at war with Russia in Ukraine. NATO supplied Ukraine with US40 Billion worth of weapons in 2025 alone.
Predictably the Danish Navy "never knew" about the attack on the Nordstream pipeline which occurred inside their territory. The divers and undersea demolition charges must have required significant logistics - support vessels, onshore logistics, ordnance storage and movement. And they could not detect all that INSIDE their own territory?
But why would Ukraine bomb the Nordstream gas pipeline which supplies cheap Russian natural gas to Germany? It would only cripple German industry. But isnt Germany a NATO ally that is also providing billions of US Dollars in defence assistance to Ukraine?
Why not bomb any of the FIVE pipelines that supply gas to Italy (as an example).
TransMed Pipeline – Algeria → Tunisia → Sicily (Mazara del Vallo); Italy's largest non-Russian supply route.
Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP) – Azerbaijan → Turkey → Greece → Albania → Italy (Melendugno, Puglia).
Greenstream Pipeline – Libya → Sicily (Gela).
Trans Austria Gas (TAG) – Austria → Italy (Tarvisio); historically carried Russian gas, now also gas from other Central European sources.
Transitgas/TENP route – Northwest Europe (Netherlands/Norway via Germany and Switzerland) → Italy (Gries Pass).
Why bomb the Nordstream gas pipeline into Germany? Because the target was Germany. How does that benefit Ukraine? It does not. It benefits the British who have had Germany and Russia in their sights since forever. Maybe the Ukrainians helped plan the attack but most certainly the Brits (with the assistance of the US - according to Seymour Hersh) were the masterminds.
The Brits were behind the drone attack against the Kerch Bridge, the sinking of the Russian cruiser Moskva and other skullduggery. 'The UK, through aircraft operating from bases in Europe and NATO intelligence-sharing helped pinpoint the Moskva in the Black Sea'.

My Comments:
Of course there will be denials, denials, denials. It was a rogue operation and had nothing to do with the Ukrainian intelligence services.
The target of the bomb was Ukrainian businessman Vadym Yermolaiev (also spelled Vadim Ermolaev or Vadym Iermolaiev in different transliterations).
Key facts reported about him:
He is a Ukrainian-born real estate and industrial businessman from Dnipro.
He renounced his Ukrainian citizenship and is now a Cypriot citizen residing in Monaco.
In 2023, Ukraine imposed sanctions on him, alleging he continued business activities in Russian-occupied Crimea and paid taxes there after Russia's 2022 invasion.
He was seriously injured in the 29 June 2026 bombing in Monaco, along with his partner and son.
But why was the Ukrainian woman who was sent to deliver the bomb shot and killed by the Ukrainian intelligence service in Kyiv? Obviously to destroy links and evidence. Dead people cannot talk.
p.s. Yesterday Tuesday there was a bomb attack (actually two bombs) outside the Four Seasons Hotel in Damascus where French President Francois Macron was staying (he was visiting Syria). They were relatively small explosions (although there were 18 injured).
At the time of the explosion Macron was meeting Syria's ISIS president Abu Qaṭʿal-Ruʾūs in the presidential palace.
Either the bombers were dumb nuts (Macron had already left in a huge noisy motorcade) or it was a warning to Macron from the ISIS president himself. Dont come here anymore.
Some cloak and dagger for today.
