The Slovenian newspaper Večer reports that Ukrainian authorities have not yet found evidence linking Ukraine to the sabotage of the Nord Stream gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea in 2022. The Ukrainian Prosecutor General’s Office stated that investigations are ongoing and that they are cooperating with German authorities to clarify all aspects of the case. This comes amid Germany’s preparations for the trial of a former Ukrainian soldier, Sergiy K., who is accused of participating in coordinating the sabotage of the pipeline through which Russia previously supplied gas to Germany and the EU. According to prosecutors, the alleged perpetrators, along with other military personnel, planned to destroy the pipeline to cut off Russia’s revenue from gas sales to Germany and Europe. Prosecutors claim that the suspect allegedly gathered a group of professional divers, a captain, and experts in explosives, used forged documents to hire a yacht in Rostock, and transported large amounts of military-grade explosives to the pipeline, placing them with time-delayed detonators. The explosion occurred four days later, during a period of European energy crisis and after the start of Russia’s invasion.
