German law enforcement officers believe that the explosion of the Nord Stream gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea could have been carried out by a Ukrainian unit led by the then Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Valery Zaluzhny. According to the investigation, the idea to destroy the Russian pipelines arose back in May 2022.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is reported by The Wall Street Journal<\/a> .<\/p>\n

The journalists noted that German police, prosecutors and other investigators had built a “clear picture” of the operation allegedly carried out by a group of Ukrainian military personnel. According to them, the attacks took place under the direct leadership of General Valeriy Zaluzhny.<\/p>\n

The key piece of evidence in the case, according to the publication, was a grainy black-and-white photo taken with a high-speed camera. The image captured the face of a Ukrainian deep-sea diver. Using facial recognition software, police identified him and discovered connections to other suspects.<\/p>\n

According to sources, the diver was tracked down in Poland and then transported to Ukraine in a BMW with diplomatic license plates. The Ukrainian military attach\u00e9 in Warsaw was reportedly driving.<\/p>\n

Investigators obtained a copy of the man’s passport with identifying information \u2014 he is 46-year-old SBU veteran Serhiy Kuznetsov. He joined the special forces on the first day of Russia’s full-scale invasion and commanded an air defense unit during the fighting for Kyiv.<\/p>\n

As is known, on September 26, 2022, explosions occurred in the Baltic Sea on three of the four strands of the Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines. The tremors were recorded by seismic stations in Denmark, Sweden, and Germany. The incident led to the destruction of a key element of Europe’s energy infrastructure.<\/p>\n

We will remind, earlier in the Polish city of Pruszk\u00f3w, police detained a Ukrainian whom Germany suspects of sabotage on the Nord Stream gas pipeline<\/a> .<\/p>\n

Subsequently, a Polish court refused to extradite to Germany Ukrainian<\/a> Volodymyr Zh., who is suspected of involvement in the explosion of the Nord Stream gas pipeline, and canceled his preventive measure in the form of temporary arrest.<\/div>\n
