Germany puts Ukrainian on trial for Nord Stream pipeline blasts
Four years after the sabotage of the Nord Stream gas pipelines, a Ukrainian man named Serhii Kuznetsov has gone on trial in Hamburg, Germany. Prosecutors accuse him of leading a team of saboteurs in a war crime targeting civilian infrastructure. Kuznetsov denies the charges and his defense team has requested the dismissal of the case. They argue that prosecutors lack physical evidence, DNA, fingerprints, or eyewitnesses, and that military secrecy prevents him from mounting a full defense.
