seems to indicate this reports factually with loaded wording, so it seems likely this happened

It’s great to have more sources but Washington Post is left bias.

So the question is, wouldn’t this news negatively influence the left wing? Since damaging Nordstream 2 did impact Germany as well not just Russia.

I care more about the factual part

Unless you have your own intelligence agency, you don’t have any option other then waiting for more sources.

Meanwhile, the question remain valid. It’s uncommon to find bias news outlets that publishs news not aligned with their views and be the only one who report it.

This comment is more of a discussion starter rather than a response to why I disagree with you.

I'm fine with waiting for more reputable sources.

The Washington Post said that he was “managing logistics and support for a six-person team that rented a sailboat under false identities and used deep-sea diving equipment to place explosive charges on the gas pipelines.” The Ukrainian official “took orders from more senior Ukrainian officials,” who reported to Ukrainian top military commander Valery Zaluzhny.

The newspaper pointed out that the Ukrainian colonel, 48, “did not act alone and he did not plan the operation.” As the Washington Post noted, Chervinsky in a written statement denied his involvement in the Nord Streams sabotage. The newspaper emphasized that the information about Chervinsky’s role in the Nord Streams explosions “contradicts [Ukrainian President Vladimir] Zelensky’s public denials that his country was involved” in the sabotage.

On April 21, the Ukrainian Security Service announced that Chervinsky had been charged under the article on abuse of power. According to the investigation, the Ukrainian military official, together with other persons, arbitrarily decided to carry out a so-called special operation to seize a Russian military aircraft. On April 25, a Kiev court arrested Chervinsky for two months without bail. In May, the court ruled to live him under arrest.

I still believe it's the US and Norway that blew it up. The US can't be seen to be attacking Europe and Russia so Ukraine is going to be a convenient fall guy for them.

The US had the motive and the means, and biden even slipped up before the war and said that if Russia attacked, the US would destroy Nordstream.

As a resident of Norway, you highly overestimate us. Our destructive capabilities consist of maybe slapping a throughput tax on the pipeline in 2 years' time, after getting permission three separate times from the EU.
