Nord Stream

September 2022

On 26 September 2022, news broke of four explosions at the Nord Stream 1 and 2 natural gas pipelines, rendering three of the four lines inoperable. Three separate investigations were started by Germany, Sweden and Denmark, the latter two were closed without publicly assigned responsibility for the damage in February 2024. In June 2024, German authorities issued an arrest warrant for a Ukrainian national suspected of the sabotage.

2024

In 2024 and 2025, German investigations concluded that a team of divers directed by Ukrainian officials was responsible for the sabotage of the gas pipelines. The final investigation by Germany was hindered by the failure of Poland and Italy to extradite two suspects. The investigation into the sabotage was called off by Sweden and Denmark. Russia from the beginning pointed at the West to have sabotaged the project. Poland's prime minister Donald Tusk commented “the problem with Nord Stream 2 is not that it was blown up. The problem is that it was built”, while Hungary’s foreign minister, Péter Szijjártó, called Tusk’s stance “shocking” and accused Tusk of "defending terrorists".
