First hearing in Germany's Nord Stream pipeline sabotage case concludes

In Germany, the first court hearing in the case of the sabotage of the Nord Stream gas pipelines lasted just over two hours. The German prosecutor's office classifies the actions of the accused Ukrainian citizen, Sergei Kuznetsov, as a war crime and charges him with organizing the explosions. During the first hearing, Kuznetsov refused to give oral testimony. The next hearing is scheduled for October 27.
