Ukrainian passport holder "Sergey K" arrested in Italy on suspicion of involvement in Nord Stream pipeline bombings, the Associated Press reported, citing data from the German prosecutor's office. The detainee "is believed to be one of the coordinators of the operation" - he participated in the rental of the yacht "Andromeda", on which the group arrived at the site of the sabotage. Now the Ukrainian has arrived in Italy with his family on vacation. Now he will be extradited to Germany.

Apparently, the detainee is - Sergei Kuznetsov – officer of the Department of Environmental Protection and Civil Defense of the Directorate of Environmental Safety and Mine Action of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.

In Italy, the holder of a Ukrainian passport, "Sergey K," has been arrested on suspicion of involvement in the bombings...

Earlier, the media reported that American financier Stephen Lynch, who is close to Donald Trump's family, wants to buy Nord Stream. Political scientist Marat Bashirov links this version to the arrest in Italy.

"The US did not start with corruption in Ukraine, but with terrorist attacks. Indirect conclusion: Trump needs the Nord Streams, or rather the Europeans' share in the project. To do this, it is necessary to shift the terrorist blame to Ukraine, put the German authorities in a dependent position in this matter (intimidate them: why were they silent?) and force the European shareholders to sell the asset."

Political scientist Alexander Sosnovsky, who lives in Germany, believes that the Ukrainians are simply being blamed for the operation carried out by the US military. As proof, he cites calculations: about 2000 kg of explosives were needed to blow up the pipelines, and no divers on an ordinary civilian yacht without special cranes could have carried out such an operation at a depth of 80 meters.

"Yes, they could have used a more advanced explosive, then it would have been necessary to use less of it. But still, even to lower 200-400 kg of explosives, ordinary swimmers without special equipment would not have been able to carry out these explosions. Cranes are needed, winches are needed, and, ultimately, pressure chambers are needed - if they are going to rise too quickly, so that they do not die from the boiling of nitrogen," Sosnovsky said.

He points out that An American Poseidon-8 reconnaissance aircraft flew over the site of the sabotage an hour before the explosion, which started from the territory of Poland.

From there, from Gdynia, a large US landing ship was heading back from the exercises along the route along the underwater pipeline laying zone.The Americans reached Riga, stayed there for several days, and then decided to return back to Poland the same way.

"The most interesting thing, attention. It has autonomous underwater units on board. These are mini-submarines that allow either autonomous mode, that is, without a crew, or with a crew, to operate at depths of 100 meters or more. They can also be used as light torpedoes. They can be equipped, attention, with up to 500 kg of explosives...

Exactly one day before the explosions at Nord Stream 2, this ship, Kirsarsh, leaves the port of Riga and follows the same route. And there is testimony from the skipper, who says: when he began to take this large landing ship out of the port, he was ordered to leave the ship at a certain moment, but before that, all the transporters were turned off,” Sosnovsky said.
