Nord Stream, France Press: For Germany the sabotage of the pipelines was commissioned by the Ukrainian authorities

The Italian news outlet Il Fatto Quotidiano reports that German prosecutors have shifted their investigation into the sabotage of the Nord Stream gas pipelines, now suggesting the attack was commissioned by Ukrainian authorities. Previously, the investigation focused on identifying the individuals who carried out the physical act, such as Serhij Kuznietsov, but now it points to possible state-level involvement in Kyiv. The report cites French agency AFP, which quotes sources close to the investigation, indicating that German magistrates believe the operation was ordered by Ukrainian authorities. This marks a significant development in the case, as it moves beyond identifying the perpetrators to implicating potential state actors. The incident occurred in September 2022 and had major implications for Europe’s energy crisis following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The Nord Stream 2 pipeline, which was never operational after the invasion, was at the center of geopolitical tensions.
