Ukrainian soldier goes on trial over Nord Stream sabotage
Original: Ukrainian soldier goes on trial over sabotage of Nord Stream gas pipelines https://www. theguardian.com/business/2026/ o
A Ukrainian soldier is to go on trial in Germany over the 2022 sabotage of the Nord Stream gas pipelines, which ruptured undersea infrastructure carrying Russian gas to Europe. The case is a major test for German investigators, who have faced criticism over the slow pace of the inquiry, and carries political sensitivity given Ukraine's dependence on Western support while fighting Russia's invasion.
Why now: The first trial over the Nord Stream explosions is politically charged, touching Germany's relations with Ukraine and unresolved questions about who ordered the attack.
