…today, the Wall Street Journal reports that Italian police arrested a retired Ukrainian military officer, identified as Serhii K., under a German-issued international warrant for allegedly leading the team that blew up the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines in September 2022.
German investigators say Serhii led a team of two soldiers and four civilian divers recruited by a special Ukrainian military unit to lay explosives on the twin natural-gas pipelines that carried Russian NatGas to Europe, providing Moscow with billions of dollars to fund its war in Ukraine.
