In February 2023, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh published a detailed account alleging the US Navy sabotaged the Nord Stream pipelines during the BALTOPS 22 naval exercise. The report claims divers planted C-4 explosives that were later detonated remotely. President Biden had publicly stated in February 2022: 'If Russia invades, there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it.' Danish, Swedish, and German investigations have not publicly attributed blame. The destruction of Nord Stream caused the largest single release of methane in history.
Seymour Hersh reported the US Navy planted C-4 on Nord Stream under BALTOPS 22 exercise cover — Biden had said 'we will end it'
“Biden said on camera 'we will bring an end to it.' Hersh says the Navy did it under exercise cover. Three countries investigated and none named a suspect.”
