No evidence has been found to suggest Ukraine's involvement in the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines
The Office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine reported that, as part of the investigation into the criminal proceedings regarding the Russian Federation’s armed aggression, it has reviewed information regarding the explosions on the “Nord Stream 1” and “Nord Stream 2” gas pipelines. The investigation found no evidence to confirm Ukraine’s involvement in these explosions.
As part of this investigation, Ukrainian law enforcement agencies are conducting the necessary investigative and other procedural actions, including questioning witnesses and gathering information relevant to establishing the circumstances of the incident.
Based on the work ALREADY conducted and the information obtained, no facts have been established to date that would indicate the involvement of the State of Ukraine, its authorized bodies or officials, nor of any orders, instructions, directives, or guidance issued by them on behalf of Ukraine regarding the sabotage of the aforementioned gas pipelines. At the same time, the investigation into these circumstances is not yet complete, and the collection and examination of the necessary evidence are ongoing.
The Office of the Prosecutor General has taken note of the notification from the German Federal Prosecutor’s Office regarding the filing of an indictment in the case concerning the sabotage of “Nord Stream 1” and “Nord Stream 2.”
We emphasize that the filing of an indictment is a procedural decision by the prosecution and does not constitute a finding of guilt or a final assessment of the circumstances of the criminal proceedings. A person’s guilt in committing a crime is confirmed exclusively by a final and binding court verdict, issued following a comprehensive examination of all evidence obtained, in compliance with the rights and procedural safeguards of all participants in the criminal proceedings.
The Ukrainian side continues to cooperate with the RELEVANT German authorities. In particular, the necessary investigative and procedural actions are being carried out in response to a request from the latter. The relevant German authorities will be immediately notified of the results of these actions. UKRAINE IS READY TO ASSIST IN ESTABLISHING ALL THE TRUE CIRCUMSTANCES.
In addition, information regarding the sabotage of the “Nord Stream 1” and “Nord Stream 2” gas pipelines has been entered into the Unified Register of Pre-trial Investigations. As part of this criminal proceeding, a request will be sent to the relevant German authorities to establish a joint investigative team for the purpose of promptly exchanging information.
