Ukrainian diver arrested in Croatia over Nord: Latest Details

A Ukrainian man has been arrested in Croatia as part of an investigation into the 2022 bombing of the Nord Stream gas pipelines between Germany and Russia.

Undersea explosions in September 2022, just months after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, damaged three of the four pipelines built to carry Russian fossil gas to Germany under the Baltic Sea.

The man, a trained scuba diver who prosecutors allege was directly involved in the explosions, was arrested in the Croatian seaside town of Pula on Wednesday. Berlin will seek his extradition to face trial at the federal court in Karlsruhe, in Germany.
