Not terrorism. Since the pipeline was a Russian economic asset, it was a legitimate military target for Ukraine as a recognized belligerent against Russia. That being so, the German criminal charges should be dismissed because they contravene the immunity from criminal prosecution enjoyed by combatant personnel engaged in military operations.

So if a Russian blows up the Ukrainian embassy in New York, the Russian should not face criminal charges, because the 2 countries are engaged in a war? (For purposes of this question, ignore the fact the embassy is considered Ukrainian soil)

The pipeline was a joint Russian/German project.

So it wasn't a valid military target since the collateral damage to an ally was not worth the damage to Russia since Russia is now just shipping its oil via different routes.
