Zelenskyy Denies Ukraine's Role in Nord Stream Blasts
Zelenskyy said Ukraine was not involved and is helping Germany’s probe as prosecutors pursue suspects in a sabotage case tied to 2022 blasts.
- On Sunday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reiterated that Ukraine was not involved in the 2022 Nord Stream pipeline attack, stating his country did not "stand behind the execution or the very conception of this operation."
- German prosecutors alleged last month that the blasts were ordered by the Ukrainian state, complicating relations between Kyiv and key military backers; prosecutors claimed the objective was to "destroy the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 pipelines."
- A Ukrainian man was arrested in Croatia on Wednesday on suspicion of participating in the bombings, following the early 2026 detention of Ukrainian national Serhii K., who allegedly acted "on the orders of state authorities in Ukraine."
- Zelenskyy said Kyiv is assisting Berlin with the investigation to prevent diplomatic rifts, emphasizing, "It is very important for us not to lose our partnership, not to lose the trust of European countries."
- The alleged plan aimed to "permanently halt gas supplies" and prevent Russia from using natural gas revenue to finance its war efforts; the pipelines ran through the Baltic Sea to Germany and other European nations.
