For a good two weeks now, NATO navies have been accompanying a Russian formation on its way from the Mediterranean around Western Europe to the harbours and shipyards of the Baltic Fleet.

In anticipation of our "marineforum" magazine, which will be published in a few days' time, here is an article that was written three weeks ago but was reserved for the print edition. After 85-year-old US investigative journalist Seymour Hersh tried to make everyone believe in February 2023 with unprovable causal lines that the USA was the bad guy behind the acts of sabotage against the Nord Stream pipelines, in March, according to German investigations, it was a sailing gang of specialists of Ukrainian-Polish origin who could have expertly deployed the highly explosive material at widely separated points at a water depth of around 80 metres.
