Ukrainian Suspect Arrested in Croatia Over 2022 Nord Stream Pipeline Explosions
German prosecutors have arrested a Ukrainian man, identified as Vladimir Z. or Volodymyr Zhuravlov, in Croatia on a European warrant for his alleged role in the 2022 Nord Stream pipeline explosions near Denmark. The suspect, a trained scuba diver, is accused of planting explosives on Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines as part of a group led by another Ukrainian, Serhii K. He was previously detained but released in Poland after extradition was denied. The pipelines, intended to carry Russian gas to Europe, were damaged amid heightened tensions following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The suspect is to be extradited to Germany for further investigation.
