WATCH: German court rejects bid to end Ukrainian ex-officer’s trial in Nord Stream Bombing
In this Times Now World News report, we break down the this topic:
A German court on Tuesday rejected a defence request to dismiss charges against former Ukrainian army officer Serhii Kuznietsov, who is accused of involvement in the 2022 explosions that damaged the Nord Stream gas pipelines carrying Russian gas to Europe. Kuznietsov, 50, went on trial at the Hamburg state court on October 14, facing charges including causing an explosion, property damage, disruption of public services and complicity in war crimes. His lawyers argued that he remained an active-duty Ukrainian soldier and was bound by national security restrictions that prevented him from speaking freely. The defence maintained that he could not be convicted under German law if he was unable to testify. The court rejected the arguments on the second day of the trial, saying German law did not restrict the defendant’s ability to testify based on the conditions of service imposed by a foreign country, German news agency dpa reported. The September 2022 explosions damaged the Nord Stream pipelines in the Baltic Sea, in an incident widely regarded as one of Europe’s most significant acts of sabotage in decades.
