Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Ukraine has no role in the sabotage of the Nord Stream gas pipelines that link Russia to Europe. His comments come after Croatian police arrest a second Ukrainian suspect sought by Germany in connection with the blast.
Zelenskyy tells reporters during the Ukraine Nordic-Baltic summit in Kyiv that Ukraine was not involved “even [in] the idea of this operation.” He adds that Ukraine is ready to help investigators and hopes the inquiry produces results. Multiple outlets report the same sequence of events: Germany’s request for suspects, the arrest in Croatia, and Zelenskyy’s denial following the development.
Across the sources, the emphasis is consistent on Zelenskyy’s position and the arrest as the immediate catalyst for his remarks. None of the articles provide independent evidence directly assigning responsibility, and the discussion centers on Ukraine’s rebuttal and the ongoing investigation rather than on new findings from authorities.
