In Germany, it is believed that the sabotage of the "Nord Streams" could have been orchestrated by Zaluzhny – American journalists
German investigators believe that the sabotage of the "Nord Stream" pipelines in the Baltic Sea was carried out by a group of Ukrainians led by the then Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Valeriy Zaluzhny, reports The Wall Street Journal.
According to the investigation, the sabotage was carried out by an elite Ukrainian unit operating under the direct command of Zaluzhny. German police tracked rented boats, phones, and cars, which led to the issuance of arrest warrants for seven individuals — three military personnel and four veteran divers.
The goal of the operation, according to investigators, was to reduce Russia's oil revenues and its connections with Germany. A key piece of evidence was a photograph of one of the divers, identified through facial recognition systems.
The main suspect — 46-year-old SBU veteran Serhiy K. — was detained in Italy. There, the court is scheduled to decide by December whether to extradite him to Germany, where a special plane has already been prepared to deliver him to the court in Hamburg.
