Prosecutor General's Office hasn't established Ukraine's involvement in the sabotage of the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 pipelines, prosecutors said on July 9, adding that the investigation and evidence collection are still underway.
The statement comes a week after Germany's federal prosecutor filed charges against a Ukrainian national suspected of sabotaging the Nord Stream gas pipelines in 2022. The suspect is Serhii Kuznietsov, Ukrainian veteran who was extradited to Germany in November 2025.
Ukrainian law enforcement is investigating the case as part of criminal proceedings into Russia's war against Ukraine and other alleged offenses. Investigators are reviewing information related to the pipeline sabotage and interviewing witnesses.
"At present, no evidence has been established indicating the involvement of the Ukrainian state, its authorized institutions, or officials in these unlawful acts, or that they issued, on behalf of Ukraine, any orders, directives, instructions, or other commands to carry out the sabotage of the pipelines," the statement read.
"Ukraine is ready to assist in establishing the full truth about the circumstances."
Ukraine's Prosecutor General's Office acknowledged the German federal prosecutor's indictment in the Nord Stream sabotage case and said it continues to cooperate with the relevant German authorities.
The prosecutors said the charges against Kuznietsov shouldn't be interpreted as proof of his guilt.
"A person's guilt can only be established by a court verdict," they added.

Yes.
In their stupidity, they refused to extend the existing deal with Russia. They made a mess.
.......”No evidence the Nazi party was responsible for burning the Reichstag”...
Seems we will never know, but Biden does.
“Biden pledges end to Nord Stream 2 if Russia invades Ukraine”
To be fair, it was as likely Biden’s handlers running point on the operation.
Could have been our friends at the CIA as well.
In 2022 Biden was president. He could have authorized any old thing.
Oops! I meant that his handlers could have authorized any old thing. I doubt if Slow Joe even knew what “Nord Stream” referred to.
Except that it rhymed with ice cream.

If I recall correctly, Biden threatened to do it.
As valid as “I didn do noffing!”
“We have investigated thoroughly, and found we are innocent.”
Yep. The real problem for me is...if this was investigated deeply enough to declare someone innocent, then it's likely that they know whodunnit and refuse to say. I don't care who didndonuffin.
All governments are comprised of known pathological liars.
Yeah Ukraine found that Ukraine didn’t do this. Well ok that settles it /s
“So, who is lying? “
AI Overview
Vladimir Putin consistently relies on a “firehose of falsehood”—a propaganda strategy that uses high-volume, continuous, and contradictory messaging to distort reality. These fabrications are used to manipulate domestic public opinion, conceal severe battlefield failures, and wage cognitive warfare globally.
Core Fabrications
Ukraine’s Statehood & History: Putin has frequently claimed that Ukraine is an artificial state with no historical justification, arguing that Russians and Ukrainians are “one people”. Historians and international analysts widely reject these claims as fabricated history used to justify territorial aggression.
The Cause of the War: He has repeatedly claimed the conflict was provoked by Western expansion or a coup in Ukraine, denying that Russia’s invasion was a premeditated act of aggression.
Fabricated Military Successes: The Russian high command routinely reports exaggerated or completely fabricated battlefield victories. For example, Putin has claimed the capture of territories or the encirclement of troops that were entirely false, such as his claims regarding the capture of Constantynivka and the city’s nonexistent rivers.
The Propaganda Machine
Information Control: Domestically, the Kremlin enforces strict censorship, criminalizing independent reporting on the military. State media and internet algorithms reinforce the regime’s narrative while restricting access to objective information.Atrocity Denial: The Russian government has consistently denied documented war crimes and atrocities in Ukraine, often falsely blaming them on Ukrainian forces.Experts, including U.K.’s MI6 chief, note that Putin’s version of history is heavily distorted and that he frequently provides conflicting, shifting rationales for the war. Analysts point out that this reliance on deception stems largely from the underperformance of his military and faltering internal conditions.

According to German federal prosecutors, the 2022 sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines was an operation ordered by Ukrainian state authorities.
In July 2026, German authorities indicted a former Ukrainian army officer, identified as Serhii K., for his role as the leader of the plot. Prosecutors allege that he and a team of divers used a chartered yacht (the Andromeda) to plant timed explosives on the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines in September 2022.
The goal of the operation was to permanently halt the flow of Russian gas to Europe and prevent Moscow from generating revenue to fund the war.
For further details on the investigation and indictment, you can review the official reports from Reuters or Deutsche Welle.
The Germans can always sell Abel Reyna cryptrocurrency to jump-start their economy.
There are buffoons in the United States that would buy that stuff for $130 a pop.
The auto pen could authorize anything.
Well if you’ve got any solid proof, let’s hear it now
So far we haven’t seen any solid proof against anybody, have we?
Just a lot of idle speculation by numerous Ukraine-haters
Time to “Put up or shut up”
One could imagine several parties interested in destruction of Nordstream, for many different reasons. The Poles are one (indeed, didn't several polish MPs celebrate on social-media afterwards?). The UK is certainly another. Its been British policy for 400 years to oppose anyone on the continent becoming too dominant, and certainly they want to keep Russia and Germany apart.
Many Atlanticist parts of the Washington DC deep-state were happy to see it done.
Even US oil and gas producers would be happy to have more shipments to the EU
One could argue China would also benefit, as they become Russia's biggest customer and gain huge leverage over them. Although I don't think Chinese navy divers are operating in the Baltic....
Here’s a better idea:
Abel Reyna crappedpantz currency - for the older crowd. They’ll Depends on the Abel Reyna meme coin holding its value!
The Germans would be Abel to rebuild their ruined heavy industry - and replace the hamsters on the exercise wheels now powering their “economy”...
POS pipeline was a Legitimate target in a WAR.
If Pootin hadn’t launched his failed war against Ukraine, NordStream would still be existing.
So, it’s all 100% Pootin’s fault.
You seem surprised/shocked/outraged that a targeted country would actually fight back when attacked without any provocation ... You don’t understand how a war works??
