The Polish Head of Government expresses regret to the individuals who initiated the Nord Stream project.
A person believed to be involved in the bombing of the Nord Stream pipelines somehow evaded capture in Poland, despite a warrant issued by German authorities. This has sparked concerns about the degree of cooperation between Polish authorities and their German counterparts in this case. Previous Prime Minister of Poland, Tusk, didn't hold back his thoughts on the matter via Twitter.
Following the release of an arrest warrant for a Ukrainian national in relation to the sabotage of the gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea, Tusk weighed in on Nord Stream. He tweeted, "To all the brains behind Nord Stream 1 and 2, all you need to do now is apologize and keep quiet." Several explosions had caused significant damage and disruptions to the two pipelines, Nord Stream 1 and 2, towards the end of September 2022.
Theories surrounding the culprits and masterminds behind the sabotage remain unresolved. The Russian-German project had been politically contentious - not just since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022. Poland had always been against the construction of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.
Jacek Siewiera, head of the national security office in Warsaw, chimed in on Tusk's tweet, writing, "Oops, bad news for those addressed. There's a solid agreement in Poland on this matter." He accompanied his message with a winking emoticon.
On Wednesday, it emerged that the Polish prosecutor's office had received an European arrest warrant from the German federal prosecutor's office for the individual who had recently left Poland and returned to their native country. The news of the arrest warrant and the suspect's departure sparked questions about the level of Polish involvement in the investigation of the sabotage incident.
The attack on Ukraine, with its ongoing tensions, has added fuel to the already contentious nature of the Nord Stream project. Tusk's tweet, criticizing the individuals involved in the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines, was met with support from Polish authorities, as suggested by Jacek Siewiera's response.
