US and German media reports suggest a pro-Ukrainian group carried out the attack on the natural gas pipelines under the Baltic Sea. But an aide to Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has denied Kyiv was involved in the sabotaging of the Nord Stream gas pipelines.

The undersea pipelines - which brought Russian natural gas to Germany - were blown up in September 2022. The New York Times reported -- citing unnamed US officials -- that US intelligence indicates a pro-Ukrainian group carried out the attack. German media is also reporting that there is evidence pointing to possible Ukrainian involvement. The German government is still investigating the incident. But Russia says that the reports show a UN-led international inquiry is needed.
