The Nord Stream Investigation
Poland has refused to extradite one of the suspects to stand trial in Germany. It instead views him a hero for destroying a vital source of revenue for Russian President Vladimir Putin’s war machine.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, who has long questioned Germany’s dependence on Russian energy, ridiculed the investigation. The problem isn’t that the pipeline was blown up, he said. The “problem is that it was built.”
The bombings, in September 2022, rendered the debate moot. As vast amounts of methane fizzed into the Baltic, the single largest man-made release of greenhouse gas on record, some U.S. and German officials accused Russia of engineering the blasts. The Kremlin claimed that the U.S. and U.K. were behind the attack.
German police, prosecutors and other people familiar with the intricacies of the case instead developed what they said is a clear picture of how an elite Ukrainian military unit carried out the attacks under the direct supervision of Ukraine’s then-supreme commander, Gen. Valeriy Zaluzhniy.
The Ukrainian diver the team traced to Poland was subsequently taken to Ukraine in a black BMW with diplomatic plates, driven by the Ukrainian military attaché in Warsaw. Ukraine’s government refused to comment.
Privately, a senior Ukrainian official said Kyiv acted after a warning from the Polish government.
