Biden says Nord Stream pipeline damage was "a deliberate act of sabotage"

President Biden called the damage to the Nord Stream natural gas pipelines "a deliberate act of sabotage," rebuking Russia's claim that the West was responsible for the explosions. The president said Friday that divers would eventually be sent to the pipelines, which were designed to bring gas from Russia to Europe, to determine what happened. 

"It was a deliberate act of sabotage and the Russians are pumping out disinformation and lies," Biden said. 

"At the appropriate moment, when things calm down, we're going to be sending divers down to find out exactly what happened. We don't know that yet exactly," he added.
