EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell expressed the opinion that the damage to submarine cables in the Baltic Sea was not accidental.
“This was not an accident, just like the bombing of Nord Stream,” the diplomat said in an interview with radio station Cadena SER. “We need to get used to the fact that this kind of critical infrastructure is very vulnerable.” “We must take action to preserve this infrastructure on which daily life depends,” he said. He did not hold the Russian Federation responsible for the incident, but added that “it was not an accident.”
