Germany's Federal Prosecutor's Office announced on Thursday that, according to its findings, the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines in 2022 was planned and carried out on the orders of Ukrainian state officials. The statement came after the prosecutor's office in Karlsruhe confirmed the first indictment in the case of the damage to the Baltic pipelines. SITA ↗
The accused is Ukrainian citizen Serhiy K., who, according to German investigators, is alleged to have helped organize the operation. The prosecutor's office claims that, together with other soldiers, he drew up the plan to destroy the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 pipelines at the request of Ukrainian authorities. The attacks took place in September 2022, several months after the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. hnonline.sk ↗
The case also has an Italian dimension, as earlier reports indicated a connection between the accused and a detention in Italy. After years of investigation, German authorities have thus formally named for the first time a person they say played a role in preparing the sabotage. ta3.com ↗
The damage to the pipelines significantly affected the European energy debate, since Nord Stream was used to transport Russian gas to Europe. Further developments will depend on the court proceedings in Germany and on whether the investigation yields new evidence about the role of other individuals or state structures. hnonline.sk ↗
