Nord Stream
Undersea gas route
Nord Stream refers to a system of natural gas pipelines running under the Baltic Sea from Russia to Germany.
The pipelines became geopolitically significant as Europe's dependence on Russian energy grew controversial, particularly after Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
In September 2022, explosions damaged multiple Nord Stream pipelines in what investigators determined was sabotage, though responsibility remains disputed: The Nord Stream explosions triggered an international investigation.
