German prosecutors have issued an international arrest warrant for a Ukrainian diving instructor, identified as Volodymyr Z, in connection with the September 2022 sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines. While Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky denies any involvement, reports suggest that Zelensky was initially aware of the operation but later attempted to withdraw consent under pressure from the CIA. Investigations have also highlighted potential complicity from Polish authorities, though no direct link to the Ukrainian government was found. The Nord Stream pipelines, crucial for transporting Russian gas to Germany, have been a focal point of European energy politics, drawing criticism from the U.S. and concerns over dependency on Russian energy. The story behind the sabotage has taken on dramatic proportions, with some claiming it involved a group of operatives who executed the plan using a borrowed yacht. The ongoing investigation raises questions about accountability and the broader implications for Europe’s energy security.
