Erdgas-Pipeline: Ukrainer wegen Nord-Stream-Anschlägen ab Oktober vor Gericht

Hamburg - The trial for the attacks on the Nord-Stream gas pipelines is set to commence on October 14th at the Hanseatic Higher Regional Court in Hamburg, according to a court spokeswoman. The court has granted permission for the indictment against Ukrainian national Serhij K. to proceed as the main trial, with 16 court dates scheduled until December 17th.

Additional dates are planned for January and February 2027. The State Protection Senate concluded that the defendant is sufficiently suspected of being an accomplice in war crimes for carrying out prohibited methods of warfare through attacks on civilian objects, causing a blast explosion, destroying buildings, and disrupting public services based on the preliminary investigation findings.

Two explosions near the Danish Baltic island of Bornholm in September 2022 severely damaged the two Nord-Stream pipelines, halting the flow of Russian natural gas to Germany, as Nord Stream 2 was not yet operational.
