Statement by the North Atlantic
Council on the damage to gas
pipelines
• 29 Sep. 2022 - Press Release (2022)
The NATO Invitees associate themselves with this Statement.
1. The damage to the Nordstream 1 and Nordstream 2 pipelines in international waters in the
Baltic Sea is of deep concern. All currently available information indicates that this is the
result of deliberate, reckless, and irresponsible acts of sabotage. These leaks are causing
risks to shipping and substantial environmental damage. We support the investigations
underway to determine the origin of the damage.
2. We, as Allies, have committed to prepare for, deter and defend against the coercive use of
energy and other hybrid tactics by state and non-state actors. Any deliberate attack against
Allies’ critical infrastructure would be met with a united and determined response.
