Germany links Kyiv to Nord Stream sabotage in new indictment

German prosecutors charged a former Ukrainian army officer, Serhiy Kuznietsov, with war crimes and explosives offenses, alleging Ukrainian state authorities ordered the 2022 Nord Stream sabotage that damaged pipelines 1 and 2 near Bornholm. The plot aimed to permanently halt gas supplies to Europe and deny Russia revenue from gas, with the case expected to go to trial in Hamburg this autumn. The indictment risks straining Kyiv–Berlin ties as Germany remains Kyiv’s main military backer, while Zelensky said he was awaiting more details.

AfD official in Russia presses for Nord Stream restart with Kremlin ties

An AfD foreign policy spokesman, Markus Frohnmaier, met Gazprom chief Alexei Miller and Kirill Dmitriev in St. Petersburg during Putin’s economic forum, in a high‑level encounter between the German far‑right and Kremlin figures. They discussed reopening the Nord Stream pipelines and resuming Russian gas to Germany amid low storage levels and AfD polling gains in eastern Germany. Gazprom said the meeting was initiated by the German side; Frohnmaier stressed German interests and said the trip did not amount to endorsing the war, highlighting ongoing ties and energy‑policy sensitivities in Germany.
