Anyone surprised? I'm sure they waited until after the meeting with Trump before they conducted this.

A Ukrainian citizen suspected to be one of the co-ordinators of the undersea explosions in 2022 that damaged the Nord Stream gas pipelines between Russia and Germany has been arrested, German prosecutors said Thursday.

The suspect — identified only as Serhii K., in line with German privacy rules — was arrested overnight by police officers in Misano Adriatico, near the Italian city of Rimini, federal prosecutors said.

Explosions on Sept. 26, 2022, damaged the pipelines, which were built to carry Russian natural gas to Germany under the Baltic Sea. The damage added to tensions over the war in Ukraine, as European countries moved to wean themselves off Russian energy sources following the Kremlin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
