Germany indicts Ukrainian over Nord Stream sabotage, alleges Kyiv-backed plot

German prosecutors have indicted a Ukrainian for involvement in the Nord Stream pipeline sabotage, claiming the operation was devised on behalf of state authorities to cut Russian gas revenues.

German prosecutors have brought charges against a Ukrainian national in connection with the sabotage of the Nord Stream natural gas pipelines. According to prosecutors, the operation was planned "on behalf of state authorities" with the aim of reducing Russia's gas revenues. This marks the first time Germany has formally filed charges in this case, which relates to explosions in the Baltic Sea in September 2022. Further details about the accused's identity and the extent of involvement have not yet been disclosed.
