Trial Opens in Hamburg of Ukrainian Ex-Officer Accused Over Nord Stream Sabotage
Reuters reported from Hamburg on October 14 that a Ukrainian former officer accused of organising the 2022 Nord Stream pipeline sabotage went on trial on Wednesday at Hamburg's Higher Regional Court, identified by prosecutors by the codename 'Serhii K.' He was arrested in Italy in August 2025 and extradited to Germany in November 2025. Both he and Kyiv deny involvement in the attack. The proceedings are expected to run into February. The Nord Stream pipelines were damaged by undersea explosions in the Baltic Sea in September 2022.
