Not much chance of it being a Western act of sabotage.Most likely is a Russian one so as to be able to invoke force majeure clauses, as the compressor oil leak is about as convincing as dog ate my homework.Anyway NordStream AG statement confirms 2 x NS1 strings affected. No comment re NS2 as this NorStream AG legal entity is not operator of that asset. But we know that at least one of the NS2 lines is affected, perhaps both. So this could be either 3 or 4 lines affected.

My guess is next action is request from Russia to send vessels and aircraft etc to investigate leak ......
