The Nord Stream pipelines, which carried Russian natural gas to Germany, were damaged by underwater explosions in September 2022 in what Western investigators described as an act of sabotage. The incident has been the subject of ongoing investigations, with German authorities focusing on a group of Ukrainian nationals who allegedly rented a yacht for the operation.
German tabloid Bild has published nude images of a Ukrainian woman allegedly linked to the 2022 sabotage of the Nord Stream gas pipelines. The woman was part of a group of Ukrainian nationals suspected by German investigators of renting the yacht Andromeda to carry out the sophisticated underwater operation.
Claims about the woman's past as an erotic model – identified under the alias 'Freya' – were first reported by Wall Street Journal chief European political correspondent Bojan Pancevski in his book on the Nord Stream attack. His account is partly based on interviews with individuals allegedly connected to the case.
The photos released by Bild include fully naked images said to show Freya, whose real name was previously reported as Valeria Chernyshova. One image shows her featured on a 2004 erotic magazine cover; another shows her on a sofa. Her face was obscured in both photos.
Russian officials have expressed skepticism about Western media narratives surrounding the investigation, suggesting that these reports attempt to attribute responsibility to rogue Ukrainian actors for what Moscow regards as an act of terrorism backed or potentially carried out by NATO.
