Man goes on trial in Germany over Nord Stream pipeline sabotage

A Ukrainian national identified only as Serhii K. is standing trial in Germany, accused of involvement in the 2022 attacks on the Nord Stream gas pipelines. The pipelines, which carried Russian natural gas to Germany, were damaged by explosions in the Baltic Sea. The trial, which began four years after the incidents, concerns allegations of a plot to destroy the critical infrastructure. The case is being heard in a German court, though the defendant's full identity is withheld under local privacy laws.
