welcome to the show on nicole fairly german, prosecutors are seeking the arrest of a suspect over the sabotage of the north stream gas pipeline. it's a legit we are ukranian man who is living in poland as a diver implanted explosive devices in 2022 whole. this prosecutors have confirmed they are received. the german arrest warrant to underwater exclusions were registered on the north stream pipelines off the danish island of bourne home. in september of 2022. that was months after the start of russia's full scale invasion of ukraine. the pipelines were supposed to bring russian gas into europe, but we're not in operation at the time of the blasts. and our chief political correspondent, mena. honda told me more about the suspect we're talking about the ukranian man, whose name is given to us as load them yet said only. according to german privacy rules,

we don't get the last name and whose last address was in poland. so german investigators believes that he was one of the divers appliances explosive devices on the note stream pipelines that arrest warrant has not been executed. so father, because he said to have already left poland for ukraine because and i quote, the polish authorities gemini, failed to include his name and a database of wanted pass. and that's what royce is our reporting. so we'll say everything that german investigators have also identified 2 more ukrainians, but there are a no and there is no arrest warrant for these people yet. what more do we know about them? german media are reporting that there are 2 more suspect if i'm not mistaken to most aspects to ukrainians amount on the women and german investigators believes that they could have acted as divers in those attacks. no arrest warrants for them yet. now we will remember the reports that 2 years ago that was

a gem and yacht that was sailing in that area. the german, your named and drummond. and it is well plausible, a say those media reports now that those people have been actually dived and, and planted those explosives on those pipelines. it's very important to note in this context though, that none of this has been confirmed by the german prosecutors sofa. and we have the information from the post authorities, but not from the german once they've declined to comment. so this attack dates back to a 2022. besides that yacht that you just mentioned, what we learned in the meantime about how this group of people presumably was able to carry out an attack on the pipelines or germany, denmark on sweden all open to investigations into the incident at the time of the swedish investigators found traces of explosives on several objects that they recovered from the explosion side, which then led the swedes to confirm that the blocks were in fact deliberate act so

acts of sabotage. and in january last year, germany rated their ships, may have been used to transport explosives and germany then told the united nations that they believed that trained divers could have attached devices to the pipelines and the depths of about 70 to 80 meters. but so far, uh, that has been no result as far as suspects go. lots of accusations from russia that were rejected by the countries accused. lots of conspiracy theories too and didn't lock and sweden then close the investigations earlier this year with no result as far as suspects go. and, but the investigations are continued in germany. and can you give us a sense of how important the north stream pipelines were for germany and europe in terms of energy security? that is a significant development in this story. nicole just remember that 2 years ago, russia loans is its full scale invasion in february, european countries impose sanctions on russell because of that. russ or cub scouts

supplies and responds and then in september the pipelines are subatomic and we see those explosions. so that the note stream pipelines and those explosions where at the center of the political tensions between russia and ukraine added support is on the other side then. and since then, that has been lots of speculation, lots of conspiracy theories, as i said, but the case have been away run cold, and now we've got this. but again, it's west note saying that the german federal prosecution service has not confirmed any of it. but on wednesday the governments folks passed and said it's high priority to said lights on the story that it is a must have for the process of prosecution. and that it doesn't have any negative implications on germany's relationship with keith or change the fact that russia is still waging war on ukraine. does the double use me now? has a brewing speaking to you? many thanks. and a quick look now and some other stories making there is around the world today. polls have closed in the pacific nation of kira voss is parliamentary elections.
