German arrest warrant over Nord Stream blast mystery
14 August 2024
German state prosecutors trying to solve the mystery of who
blew up the Nord Stream gas pipelines under the Baltic Sea in
2022 have issued an arrest warrant for a Ukrainian diving
instructor.
The suspect has been named as Volodymyr Z by German media, who
have treated the sabotage like a sensational true crime drama.
Ines Peterson, a spokeswoman for Germany's prosecutor general,
declined to confirm the arrest warrant, telling the BBC that
her office never commented so as not to jeopardise the
investigation by giving the suspect a chance to escape.
But the Polish prosecutor general's spokeswoman, Anna Adamiak,
in Warsaw told the BBC's Adam Easton that a European Arrest
Warrant had indeed been passed to them by German prosecutors.
When Polish officers went to Volodymyr Z's home in early July,
he had already left the country for Ukraine, she said.
He had until then been living in a quiet residential area of
Pruszkow, a town near Warsaw, German media say.
According to an investigation by three German media outlets,
including public broadcaster ARD, Volodymyr Z was part of a
team of experienced Ukrainian divers who in September 2022
hired a German yacht, sailed out into the Baltic Sea and
planted the explosives, blowing up three of the four Nord
Stream pipelines.
A Ukrainian man and a Ukrainian woman are also suspected of
involvement.

Who'd have thought it it eh? The Ukrainians can play a dirty
game too...
I believe then, the fingers were pointing at some 1/2 dozen
countries, with their motives for doing it.
The Ukrainians
Only suggests several people were involved, but no direct link
to the government of Ukraine.
On the balance of probabilities pro-Ukrainian agents were always
the most likely suspects.
And there everyone was blaming the Russians!

Logic suggests a motive would be involved, but why is this happening (undersea cables being cut) if Ukraine did it? The blame finger seems
to point to Russia is behind this matter.
Finland seizes ship carrying Russian oil after undersea cable cut
Finland on Thursday seized a ship carrying oil for Russia in relation
to the recent cutting of an undersea cable connecting electricity to
Estonia as concern mounts over ships disrupting power and gas lines in European waters.

But "Russian officials are unsurprisingly placing the blame on the
West and have convened a UN Security Council session to discuss the
matter."
