The "Nord Stream 1" was blown, not "Nord Stream 2".

"Nord Stream 2" was completed, but blocked by sanctions (as a result of Ukrainian War). "Nord Stream 1" was operational, but Gazprom (Russia) halted delivery at least a month before the sabotage.

So you could very easily twist the argument and say that blowing NS1 was an attempt (by Russia) to force NS2 approval and put more pressure on Germany to break sanctions. Note that immediately after that event gas prices went up, even though NS1 was not delivering gas at that time. If the winter was not mild, it could end in very favorable outcome for Russia.

Both were blown. You might want to consult better sources for your information. Infact the first explosion was in Nord Stream 2, and 17 hours later Nord Stream 1 was blown up.

It's literally a Google search away.

They were not completely blown up - one pipe is still operable.
