US Eyeing Nord Stream Takeover, Says Russia’s Lavrov
- On Friday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov alleged the United States seeks control of the Nord Stream pipelines, citing American interest in the energy assets during an interview published by Russia's foreign ministry.

- The Wall Street Journal reported in 2024 that American investor Stephen P. Lynch sought to purchase the intact Nord Stream-2 line, while active talks currently occur in the United States about taking over the pipelines.
- Accusing Western intelligence services of direct participation in the sabotage, Lavrov noted that no Western nation has condemned the destruction of the pipelines, raising accountability questions.
- Former U.S. adviser George Papadopoulos recently suggested Washington maintained interest in the projects, echoing Lavrov's assertions that the United States has been striving to dominate global energy markets.
