Ukrainian charged over Nord Stream blasts as Kyiv faces major Russian attack
German prosecutors have charged a Ukrainian national, Serhii K, over the 2022 Nord Stream pipeline explosions. Simultaneously, Kyiv endured a significant Russian drone and missile attack, with reports of fatalities and widespread damage.
German prosecutors have formally charged a Ukrainian national, identified as Serhii K, in connection with the 2022 Nord Stream pipeline explosions. He is accused of leading and coordinating the sabotage of the natural gas infrastructure, following his arrest in Italy last summer. Concurrently, Russian forces launched a significant drone and missile attack on Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, overnight. While one report stated 18 fatalities, another indicated at least one person was killed. The city's mayor described it as the "most massive attack" on the Ukrainian capital, prompting evacuations and leaving some individuals trapped under rubble. This occurred hours after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had warned of an impending "massive" assault.
