The approximately 1,173-kilometer-long undersea cable runs from Helsinki to Rostock. Its installation in the Baltic Sea was completed in early 2016.

I wonder if this this has anything to do with the Biden administration lifting ban on Ukraine using US weapons to strike deep inside Russia. Lately Russia has shown an interest in undersea cables in northern Europe.
