Impossible for Nord Stream sabotage to have occurred the way intelligence told NYT – ex-CIA analyst

Global Times' note: After United States investigative journalist Seymour Hersh revealed that the US is the mastermind behind the Nord Stream pipeline explosion, the New York Times (NYT) published an article that pushing a different narrative, which claimed that a pro-Ukrainian group carried out the attack. Is the NYT revelation credible? Who is the culprit for the Nord Stream pipeline attack? Former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) analyst Raymond McGovern (McGovern) told Global Times reporter Xia Wenxin that it's "physically impossible for the incident to have occurred the way CIA and other intelligence officials are telling the New York Times." He believes this is an attempt to "deflect attention from what every sensible human being that concludes it was a US authorship of this sabotage."

GT: The NYT on March 7 reported that according to new intelligence reviewed by the US, "a pro-Ukrainian group" carried out the attack on the Nord Stream pipelines last year. Kiev has already denied this. Why do you think the US intelligence suddenly blamed a "pro-Ukrainian group" for the incident? Is there enough credibility in the NYT article?
