Nord Stream (German-English mixed expression; German: [Nord] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help) and English: [Stream] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help), also known as 'North Stream'; Russian: Северный поток, Severny potok) is a pair of offshore natural gas pipelines in Europe that runs under the Baltic Sea from Russia to Germany.[1] It makes up the Nord Stream 1 (NS1) pipeline running from Vyborg in northwestern Russia, near Finland, and the Nord Stream 2 (NS2) pipeline running from Ust-Luga in northwestern Russia near Estonia.
On 26 September 2022 Nord Stream 1 and 2 were sabotaged.[2][3]
