"Taking into consideration the full-scale war in Ukraine and the fact that Nord Stream is owned by the Russian company Gazprom, which finances these activities, the defence currently does not see any possibility of pressing charges against anyone who participated in these events. The lawyer said it was not certain whether his client had been involved in the sabotage and he was awaiting official information about the intentions of the German justice system in pressing charges. The defence would fight extradition, the lawyer said."
"The man, named as Volodymyr Z, was detained in Pruszkow, central Poland, according to Polish radio station RMF FM, which first reported his arrest. He has been transferred to the district prosecutor's office in Warsaw. The man, whose full name was not released due to privacy rules, had been detained on a European arrest warrant issued by German authorities, said Piotr Antoni Skiba, a spokesperson for the office."
A Ukrainian man named Volodymyr Z was arrested in Pruszkow, central Poland, and transferred to the district prosecutor's office in Warsaw. He was detained on a European arrest warrant issued by German authorities for suspected involvement in undersea explosions that damaged the Nord Stream gas pipelines on 26 September 2022. Undersea explosions damaged pipelines built to carry Russian natural gas to Germany under the Baltic Sea, increasing tensions as European countries sought to reduce dependence on Russian energy after the Kremlin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Another Ukrainian suspect was arrested in Italy. The suspect's lawyer said the defence will fight extradition and questioned the prospects for pressing charges.
