Volodymyr Zhuravliov, a Ukrainian diver detained in Croatia under a German arrest warrant over the 2022 Nord Stream pipeline explosions, has requested political asylum. His lawyer said he would not receive a fair trial in Germany. A Croatian court has authorized extradition, but the asylum request does not automatically stop it.
