Petr Pavel said that the attacks on the Nord Stream gas pipeline could be a legitimate target in the war. He emphasized that he had no evidence of Ukraine's involvement in the explosions.

The attacks on the Nord Stream gas pipeline may be a legitimate target in the Russian-Ukrainian war, Czech President Petr Pavel said. However, he stressed that he had no evidence of Ukraine's involvement in the Nord Stream explosions. He said this in the PoliTalk podcast, Novinky writes, according to UNN

When an armed conflict is waged, it is waged not only against military targets, but also against strategic targets. And pipelines are a strategic object. If the goal of the attack was to stop the supply of gas and oil to Europe and money back to Russia, then - and I'm speaking conditionally - this would be a legitimate goal

- said Peter Paul.

However, the Czech president added that he had no incriminating clear information that Ukraine was behind the attack.
