There's probably no hard proof, but Russia is allegedly funding far-right movements like AfD and whatever Le Pen's party in France is now called. Also, see the career of Gerhard Schroeder, first German chancellor and then a top Gazprom official.

Russia is very lucky that someone blown up their stopped pipe-line, because that saved them many billions in fines for violation of supply contract.

They also very lucky that working pipeline is not blown up.

Actually they are very credible; pretty much objective facts.

Putin’s inner circle spokesman, Dmitri Peskov, had his daughter Elizaveta as an assistant to the far-right Aymeric Chauprade, a French Member of the European Parliament.[0]

You will see “coincidentally” similar connections across major western powers like the UK, US, Germany, and Italy.

And much more direct evidence, like the time powerful US politicians spent OUR INDEPENDENCE DAY IN MOSCOW.

Putin likes to make a show of things.
