German prosecutors allege Ukraine ordered Nord Stream pipeline attack
Former Ukrainian soldier accused of ‘war crime’ and leading a team of divers to blow up Nord Stream pipelines.
A court in Germany has charged a former Ukrainian army officer with taking part in a war crime over the 2022 Nord Stream gas pipeline blasts, accusing him of acting on behalf of Ukrainian state authorities.
They accused the suspect of being part of a group which attacked civilian objects, causing an explosion, destroying infrastructure and disrupting public services.
Serhii K has denied involvement in the attack.
Authorities in Kyiv said that they did not have enough information about the case to respond in detail to German prosecutors’ allegations.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had said on Wednesday that he had yet to receive full details of the indictment.
The relevant authorities of our countries will get in touch, and when we receive more details, we will probably be able to respond. For now, it is too early to speak,” he said
