Undersea pipeline damage appears to be deliberate, says Finland
Media cites intelligence sources saying Russian sabotage suspected after unusual drop in pressure
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Finnish president has said damage to an undersea gas pipeline and communications cable connecting Finland and Estonia appears to be deliberate.
Nato’s secretary general, Jens Stoltenberg, said the transatlantic military alliance was “ready to share information about the destruction of Finnish and Estonian underwater infrastructure” and to “support its allies”.
The Finnish government said in a statement that authorities had discovered the damage to the Balticconnector natural gas pipeline, and to a communication cable linking Finland and Estonia, at about 2am local time (0000 BST) on Sunday morning.
It cited unnamed intelligence sources as saying the government “considered it possible that Russia had aimed a sabotage attack” amid sightings of Russian vessels in the vicinity of windfarms and underwater power cables in the Baltic Sea.
Konrad Muzyka, an independent regional defence analyst, said on X that the Russian hydrographic survey vessel Sibiryakov had been detected in the Gulf of Finland near the pipeline and the Estlinks cable in May, August and September.
Finland and Estonia are EU and Nato members that border Russia and stopped importing Russian oil and gas as part of sanctions imposed against Moscow for its invasion of Ukraine.

Good bot
I can't not support the attacks on fossil fuel infrastructure. It's a shame that a communications cable was also affected
I too enjoy waking up to another false flag operation. It's literally the exact same story used for Nordstream, which is incredibly lazy as far as false flag operations go.
So, you think Finland launched a false flag attack on their own gas pipeline, in order to do absolutely nothing against Russia. I mean, nobody went to war over Nordstream either, if these are false flag attacks, they're pretty fucking shit at the follow-up, especially considering nobody really needs a reason to do anything against Russian aggression right now.
No, no, it was ukranian spy, Jakiv Bond. He's so good that he highjacked russian vessel, used it to sabotage the pipeline then returned it without letting the russians know it was even highjacked!
I mean, yeah, it risks the alliance with the west, but that's a risk that Ukraine is willing to take, it's not like it's reliant on their support or anything.
Occam's razor is a hard concept to grasp for some people it seems.
Then let's play Occam's razor: who wins if Nordstream is permanently out of commission? Who wins if Balticconnector is permanently out of commission?
It's not Russia, because they're not pumping gas through the pipelines anyway. In fact, it's rather harmful to post-war Russian reintegration with the EU.
The easiest explanation isn't that Russia would attack third-party infrastructure between two NATO countries when, by all accounts, US support is drying up and EU support is dropping like flies.
I agree that Russia is really lazy with these false flag operations, where they destroy a pipeline and then try to blame all other countries.
now, it is most likely that Russia is actually behind the one in Finland. Probably as retaliation against these two countries he sees as his rightful sphere of influence acting up and as a warning.
However, it seems that Russia was actually not involved in the whole Mess around Nord Stream 2..

False Flag would mean that Germany itself commited the Attack in order to retaliate against russia. This was obviously not the Case. However, there have been some interesting revelations.
