The pipelines that would deliver natural gas to Germany were sabotaged. This is a new development and is meant to turn the people of Europe against supporting Ukraine. Between the annexation of Ukrainian territory, the threat of using nuclear weapons, and now the prospect of Europeans being unable to afford to keep warm this winter, Putin is challenging the resolve of the west to help Ukraine.
