The sabotage operation reportedly involved a small sailing boat and a team of six people, including a mix of Ukrainian soldiers and civilians with relevant expertise.
The WSJ claims the operation was funded privately but directed by a serving army general who reported to Ukraine's then commander in chief, Valerii Zaluzhnyi.
Despite initial approval by Zelenskiy, the operation was called off upon CIA intervention, yet Zaluzhnyi allegedly pursued it regardless.
A spokesperson for Zelenskiy reiterated the long-standing Ukrainian denial of involvement in the Nord Stream explosions, asserting that such acts require extensive resources that only Russia had.
