Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Thursday his country has a different view towards Sweden and Finland and suggested the Nordic countries should join NATO separately.

Sweden’s domestic security agency said Thursday that its preliminary investigation of leaks from two Russian gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea “has strengthened the suspicions of serious sabotage” as the cause. The Swedish Security Service said the probe confirmed that “detonations" caused extensive damage to the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 pipelines last week. Authorities had said when the leaks off Sweden and Denmark first surfaced that explosions were recorded in the area.

Sweden’s national security service on Thursday said a crime scene investigation into the Nord Stream gas leaks “strengthened the suspicions of gross sabotage.”

President Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukrainian forces liberated the settlements of Davydiv Brid, Lyubymivka and many others in the past week.

There are enough miles of pipelines around the world to circle the Earth 30 times — and many are vulnerable. That doesn't mean there aren't things countries can do to protect them, an expert says.

NATO says the Nord Stream leaks were a "deliberate, reckless" act of sabotage and called for further investigation after Sweden discovered a fourth leak Thursday.

President Joe Biden calls Finland and Sweden “our allies of the high north.”.

The first surprise, for the Finnish conscripts and officers taking part in a NATO-hosted military exercise in the Arctic this spring: the sudden roar of a U.S. Marine helicopter assault force, touching down in a field right next to the Finns' well-hidden command post. The second surprise: Spilling out of their field headquarters, the Finnish Signal Corps communications workers and others inside routed the U.S. Marines — the Finns' designated adversary in the NATO exercise and members of America's professional and premier expeditionary force — in the mock firefight that followed. As the exercise made clear, NATO's addition of Finland and Sweden — what President Joe Biden calls “our allies of the high north” — would bring military and territorial advantages to the Western defense alliance.
