Jul 03, 2026
Berlin [Germany], July 3: German prosecutors have filed charges against a Ukrainian national over the blowing up of the Nord Stream pipelines under the Baltic Sea in 2022.
The suspect, named only as Serhii K under German privacy laws, is alleged to have led and co-ordinated the attack on the pipelines that transported natural gas from Russia to Germany, German media reports say.
They say he is the same person arrested in Italy last summer and extradited to Germany in November. He has denied involvement. No-one has admitted carrying out the attack, and Ukraine has denied involvement in the case which may have serious implications for its relationship with Germany.
