To repel “any attack”, the Italian navy cordoned off the Mediterranean gas pipelines

Italia Further steps may be taken in the coming days, especially with the presence of tensions in the White Sea and the military movements of several countries on its coasts.

This step is becoming more and more important, with the announcement of the company "Gazprom" Russia suspends deliveries of natural gas to Italy, starting from Saturday; This is exacerbating the energy crisis in Europe.

500 personnel and marine units

And Italian media reported that 500 soldiers are now working to protect gas lines in the Mediterranean, distributed among ships, planes and naval vessels.

The reinforcements, which included 3 naval units, 12 underwater vehicles and helicopters, are the maximum operational force mobilized to meet the dangers present in the Mediterranean.

And last week, sabotage targeted two gas lines "Nord Stream 1 and 2" extending from Russia to Europe, in the damage of the offshore gas pipeline between Italy and Germany.

In the estimation of the Italian analyst Daniele Ruffnetti, it "At this time, the gas pipelines that connect us with Libya, Algeria and Tunisia are a vital national interest that needs to be protected, as never before.".

It is inferred that "what happened to"Nord Stream" It was a precedent, and therefore pipeline infrastructures were no longer secure, at sea and elsewhere; Because sabotage is part of the hybrid warfare activities that are no less than the movements of tanks on the battlefield".

Accordingly, the presence of Russian military naval units patrolling the Mediterranean is dictated by the need for Italy’s defense of the national interest, according to Rofiniti, who also stressed the security of submarine cables.

When asked about the possibility of pushing Italian warships into the sovereign waters of southern Mediterranean countries such as Libya, he replied that: "The plans of the Italian Ministry of Defense are not clear on this yet".

And he gives examples, that within a few days "We have witnessed a remarkable movement of the British Navy on the coasts of Libya, and the activity of Turkey and Italy"It is expected that the situation will become more complex.
