Aug 15, 2024
Warsaw [Poland], August 15: Poland on Wednesday received a European arrest warrant for a Ukrainian man believed to have been involved in the sabotage attacks on the Nord Stream gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea, a spokeswoman for the Polish public prosecutor's office told DPA.
The warrant, issued by Germany, is the latest twist in a highly unusual case that has confounded observers for almost two years, since the two pipelines from Russia to Germany were targeted by unknown perpetrators in September 2022.
The suspect in the case is Volodymyr Z, a Ukrainian citizen who was is believed to have left his place of residence in Poland to return to Ukraine in July, the spokeswoman said. He was not found during a search at his home in Poland, she said.
The Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines were damaged by several explosions on September 26, 2022. The explosions were registered near the Danish island of Bornholm in the Baltic Sea.
