WorldGerman trial of Ukrainian accused in Nord Stream blasts opens in Hamburg

The trial of Serhiy Kuznetsov, accused of helping carry out the 2022 Nord Stream pipeline explosions, opened in Hamburg on October 14. Investigators allege he coordinated the sabotage team, and an indictment says Ukrainian state agencies commissioned the operation without naming them. Kuznetsov denies involvement; his lawyers say he was in Ukraine at the time. An international law expert said a finding of Ukrainian government involvement could make Germany’s unconditional support for Ukraine difficult to maintain.
