German Prosecutors Charge Ukrainian Officer for Nord Stream Sabotage
German prosecutors link Nord Stream sabotage to Ukrainian state.
Event Overview
German federal prosecutors have indicted Serhiy Kuznietsov (Serhii K.), a former Ukrainian army officer, for the 2022 sabotage of the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines. The prosecution alleges Kuznietsov and a team of divers used forged passports and a chartered yacht called the 'Andromeda' from Rostock to plant HMX and RDX explosives near the Danish island of Bornholm. The operation was allegedly ordered by Ukrainian state authorities to prevent Russia from using gas revenues to fund its war effort. Kuznietsov was arrested in Italy, transferred to Germany, and has denied the charges.
