Italy to extradite Nord Stream blast suspect to Germany

Italy's top appeals court has ordered the extradition of Serhiy Kuznetsov, a Ukrainian man suspected of involvement in the explosion of the Nord Stream gas pipelines between Russia and Germany. Kuznetsov, a former Ukrainian military officer, is accused of anti-constitutional sabotage for coordinating a group that planted explosives on the pipes in 2022. The case has significant implications for Ukraine-Germany relations, with Kuznetsov's lawyer asserting his client's innocence and questioning the Ukrainian government's silence on his military status at the time of the blasts.
