Let's sort out some points: The @nytimes is quoting intelligence. The German case is not intelligence but a criminal investigation, carried out by the Federal police (BKA). It includes intelligence sources, but the core evidence is solid forensic: #NordstreamSabotage

A boat, rented on Sept 6 in Rostock by 6 ppl with professionally forged passports. Traces of explosives on the table in the cabin. Allegedly two divers, two assistant, one medic plus the captain.
The boat was rented through a company in Poland which belongs to two Ukrainian citizens. Additional traces lead to other Ukrainian citizens.
German investigators do not rule out the possibility of a false flag operation but insist that most evidence points in a different direction. The quality of the passports, the explosives and the dive pinpoint to a professional job.
There is NO EVIDENCE so far about a direct involvement of the Ukrainian government. Political implications are speculation. The investigation isn't finished but ongoing.
