Ukrainian Man Faces Extradition Over Nord Stream Pipeline Attacks

An Italian court has decided in favor of extraditing a Ukrainian individual to Germany, suspected of orchestrating three attacks on the Nord Stream gas pipelines in 2022, according to a ruling seen by Reuters.

The accused, identified only as Serhii K. due to German privacy laws, was apprehended last month in Rimini following a European arrest warrant.

Despite the court's decision, Serhii K. plans to challenge the extradition ruling, setting the stage for a potential legal battle.
