German prosecutors say Ukrainian authorities ordered the attack that severely damaged the Nord Stream gas pipelines in 2022. The Ukrainian government has always denied directing the sabotage. The explosions damaged the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines, which were designed to carry natural gas under the Baltic Sea, from Russia to Germany. The blasts, near the Danish island of Bornholm, caused huge amounts of gas to leak into the sea. German prosecutors have filed charges against a Ukrainian national over the blasts. The suspect, a Ukrainian former army officer - identified under German privacy laws only as Serhii K. - denies wrongdoing. DW looks into what the new charges could mean for relations between Ukraine and Germany.
