Ukrainian Man Charged in Germany With War Crime Explosions That Sabotaged Nord Stream Pipeline – Prosecutors Say He Acted on ‘State Orders’ by Kiev Regime
A war crime ordered by Kiev, German prosecutors say.
Back on September 26, 2022, explosions destroyed the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines that transported cheap Russian oil to Germany.
Some of us still remember how the Fake News MSM tried hard to convince us that the Russians had blown their own pipeline – but that didn’t take.
Later, Pulitzer Prize winner Seymour Hersh, based on his unnamed sources, wrote that the explosions were caused by the CIA.
But after a 4-year investigation, German police and prosecutors have arrived at the conclusion that a team of Ukrainians, ‘under state orders’, was guilty of the attacks.
Today, the leader of this team has been charged with what is essentially a war crime under international law: attacking civilian energy infrastructure. (Another source)
Serhii Kuznetzov, the head of the ‘Andromeda’ team, has also been charged with causing an explosion, destroying structures/infrastructure.
The alleged evidence in the case includes him incriminating himself on wiretapped calls.
Reuters reported:
“Germany’s top prosecutor has indicted a Ukrainian national over the 2022 explosions that crippled the Nord Stream gas pipelines under the Baltic Sea, moving one of Europe’s most politically sensitive sabotage cases closer to trial.
[…] German public broadcaster ARD and media outlets Sueddeutsche Zeitung and Die Zeit, which first reported the move, said prosecutors accuse him of attacking civilian energy infrastructure, causing an explosion and destroying structures. The federal prosecutor’s office declined to comment.
[…] According to arrest-warrant documents, earlier press releases and a December 2025 detention ruling by the Federal Court of Justice, prosecutors allege that Serhii K helped coordinate a team that used a sailing yacht, the Andromeda, to place explosive devices on the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines near Denmark’s Bornholm island in September 2022.”
But, of course, Kuznetzov did not set out to destroy the pipelines on his own initiative. Yesterday (1), German prosecutors stated that they believe he acted ‘on the orders of state authorities in Ukraine’.
Deutsche Welle reported:
“In a statement detailing the charges brought against suspect Serhii K. on Wednesday, prosecutors said that he and six accomplices had acted “on the orders of state authorities in Ukraine.”
They said the plan was to “destroy the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 pipelines” in September 2022 and described the accused as “military personnel.”
On Wednesday, German media had reported that K., a 50-year-old Ukrainian national, had been charged with being an accomplice to a war crime, disruption of public services, causing an explosion and destroying structures.”
