According to the publication, attacks on pipelines were carried out by Ukrainian special forces in September 2022. It is reported that the divers were delivered from a specially chartered sail yacht to the pipeline area, then to lay the explosives on the seabed.
Sergei K., as it is claimed, was on board the vessel called “Andromed”. Investigators of the Federal Prosecutor’s Office believe that he was not one of the divers. Most likely, he played a coordinating role.
When Spiegel talked to people who were well aware of events in Ukraine in 2024, they stated that the executor did not intend to commit a crime. For Ukrainian men and women, the explosion was an attack on a legitimate military goal in the war between Ukraine and Russia. The profits from gas supplies to Germany have made a significant contribution to the financing of the Russian invading war against Ukraine.
The investigation of the publication allegedly found evidence that this action was sanctioned by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Politicians and media initially suggested that the explosions were Russian malefactors. In the end, investigators of the Federal Police and the Federal Prosecutor’s Office tracked a sailing yacht and found its connection with Ukraine.
Last year, Federal Prosecutor Jens Rommel received a warrant on the previous arrest of one of the suspected divers.
However, the suspect left his home in Poland before he was arrested. The Polish authorities reportedly warned the Ukrainian authorities in advance. Suspect crossed the border with Ukraine by car with diplomatic numbers.
Sources in law enforcement say that it is still unknown when Sergei K. is extradited to Germany.
Jens Rommel last year stated that the investigation had advanced in the investigation of the case of the Nord Stream gas pipelines, in particular, were the persons of two suspects are established.
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine is not involved in explosions But he suggested analyzing which players could need such an information hint.
We will remind, at the end of September 2022 after the explosions near the Danish island of Bornholm in the Baltic Sea, a total of four origins on two pipelines were discovered.
