The intelligence services of Germany fear that all threads of "Nordic Stream" and "Nordic Stream - 2" will forever remain unusable.
As Censor.NET reports, Tagesspiegel writes about this with reference to government sources and German security services.
The publication notes that if they are not repaired quickly, a large amount of salt water will enter the pipelines and corrode them.
As a reminder, on September 26, the operating company Nord Stream announced that the throughput in both strands of the Nord Stream gas pipeline dropped to zero due to a sharp drop in pressure. They explained it as a hole in the pipe and noted that they do not know how long it will take to restore the gas pipelines.

Nord Stream 1 and 2 consist of two pipelines each. Three of them were hit, but one of Nord Stream 2's two pipelines is probably intact. The chance that all four pipelines would ever be used at the same time again was virtually nil before the explosion. Coming winter, Europe is likely to have enough gas even without Nord Stream, but unclear for the winter of 2023/2024. With the line remaining, Russia may try to renegotiate next year there is also the Yamal–Europe pipeline and Ukraine is full of pipelines Russia still thinking they can win this can then use these Nord Stream 1&2 are not needed to supply Europe with natural gas.
