After the Nord Stream explosions, the EU plans to increase maritime patrols.

(RT) ⸻ EU officials believe that the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines warrants increased naval patrols to defend assets against Russia, according to the Financial Times. Lithuanian politician Sinkevicius claimed that the bloc "cannot exclude anything" under the current circumstances. European investigators have reportedly found no evidence linking Moscow to the incident, which rendered multibillion-dollar projects inoperable. US investigative journalist Seymour Hersh reported that the sabotage was a clandestine US-Norwegian operation, ordered by American President Joe Biden. This week, a series of publications in US and German media outlets claimed that a "pro-Ukrainian group" funded by a Ukrainian businessman may have been behind the sabotage. Western nations previously insisted that only a state actor would have the capability and expertise to attack infrastructure projects of other nations.
