Trials: Ukrainians to face court for Nord Stream attacks from October
The attacks on the Nord Stream pipelines are being prosecuted in court in Hamburg. The Hanseatic Court of Appeal has opened the proceedings.
The trial of Serhij K., a Ukrainian national, is set to begin on October 14 at the Hanseatische Oberlandesgericht in Hamburg. He is accused of being a co-perpetrator in the sabotage of the Nord Stream gas pipelines, which were damaged by explosions near Bornholm in September 2022. The court has scheduled 16 trial dates until December 17, with additional dates in January and February 2027.
Serhij K. was arrested in Italy in August 2025 and extradited to Germany, where he has been in investigative custody since November 27. A second suspect, Wolodymyr Z., is being held in Croatia, awaiting extradition to Germany on charges related to the sabotage.
