Nord Stream sabotage
Nord Stream saboteurs’ cover: Porn filming

When a group of Ukrainian divers, four men and one woman, headed for the Baltic Sea in the fall of 2022 with diving equipment and explosives, they had a plan if they were caught by police. They would claim to have filmed a pornographic film with a marine theme, writes The Telegraph.

“It will not be suspicious at all in Germany or Sweden,” said the commander, whose limited knowledge of Western Europe dates back to the Soviet era.

The information comes from the new book “The Nord Stream conspiracy” written by investigative journalist Bojan Pancevski, Europe correspondent for the Wall Street Journal.

Over several years of reporting in Ukraine and Germany, Pancevski has gotten to know the two main figures behind the sabotage of the Nord Stream gas pipeline, and interviewed them for the book.

They do not appear to have taken orders directly from Zelenskyj, but acted on their own initiative, he writes.

Greenland crisis  US threats
Denmark sends conscripts to Greenland

Denmark will send conscripts to Greenland. This is what the country's new Defense Minister Jeppe Bruus says in an interview with TV2.

– We need more people who have knowledge of operating in Greenland and in the Arctic, says Bruus.

The first conscripts will be sent as early as the end of July. According to Bruus, it is about “taking a greater share of the responsibility for protecting the Arctic.”

The decision also comes after a period of threats from US President Donald Trump, who has said several times that Greenland should belong to the US.
