Ukrainian man suspected of Nord Stream pipeline blasts placed in custody in Germany

German authorities have placed a 49-year-old Ukrainian man, Serhii Kuznietsov, in custody for suspected involvement in the 2022 Nord Stream pipeline explosions, which damaged pipelines carrying Russian natural gas to Germany. Kuznietsov, who denies involvement, was extradited from Italy after being detained there. He is believed to have coordinated the attack, which heightened tensions during the war in Ukraine.
