Of the four leaks, two are in the Swedish economic zone and two in the Danish one. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, after meeting with her British counterpart Liz Truss on Saturday, stressed that the leaks were not an accident but “sabotage of critical infrastructure”. This is also the opinion of several other Western, EU and NATO heads of government. Russian President Vladimir Putin blamed Britain and the US respectively. US President Joe Biden on Friday asked not to listen to Putin: “We know what he says is not true.” “It was an act of deliberate sabotage,” he stressed at the same time. He accused Russia of spreading “false information and lies” about the damage.
