Nord Stream suspect accuses Italy of pressure to confess
Published: 11/10/2025

Ukrainian ex-military officer accuses Italy of pressuring him to confess over Nord Stream attack, as he continues a hunger strike in an Italian prison. Serhiy Kuznetsov, detained in Italy in August on a German arrest warrant, claims mistreatment to admit blowing up Russia's Nord Stream gas pipelines in 2022. Amid suspicions of Russian involvement, extradition requests have been made, with an Italian court approving Kuznetsov's extradition while a Polish judge rejected a similar request for another suspect. The case raises concerns about his treatment and the ongoing legal battle as he fights against extradition.
