A top U.S. official stated categorically in an interview Tuesday evening that the United States was not behind the attack on two Russian pipelines late last month.
The interview comes after three lines in Russia’s Nord Stream natural gas pipeline system saw “unprecedented” damage last Monday after the CIA had recently warned that someone might try to sabotage the pipeline amid Russian President Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine.
John Kirby, the National Security Council coordinator for strategic communications, told Fox News host Bret Baier that the U.S. “had nothing to do with it” when pressed on the matter by Baier.
