Recent investigations by French media outlet France Info have implicated Valerij Zaluzjny, the former Chief of Defense of Ukraine, as the mastermind behind the Nord Stream pipeline sabotage.

The inquiry highlights evidence linking the operation to Ukraine, including the involvement of divers allegedly acting under Zaluzjny's orders.

Despite these allegations, both Zaluzjny and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyj have consistently denied any involvement in the sabotage.

The incident has drawn international attention, with ongoing investigations in Germany, Sweden, and Denmark focusing on various leads, including a sailboat named Andromeda, which has been linked to the operation.
