Nord Stream bomb suspect arrested while working on movie about attack: media
Police in Pula, Croatia, have arrested Volodymyr Zhuravlyov under a European arrest warrant put out by Germany, which is seeking his extradition.
Nord Stream bombing suspect Volodymyr Zhuravlyov was arrested while filming a movie in Croatia, media reported. German prosecutors accuse him of planting explosives on the gas pipeline between Russia and Germany, which was sabotaged in 2022. Zhuravlyov was working on "Snake Island" alongside Adrien Brody and Sean Penn. He had previously been held in Poland for his alleged involvement in the attack but was released due to Ukrainian claims it was a legitimate act of war.
German investigators believe the attack was ordered by a Ukrainian state agency to deprive Russia of energy revenue to fund its war efforts. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky denies knowledge of the plan.
