A Croatian court approves the extradition of a Ukrainian man wanted by Germany over the 2022 undersea explosions that damaged the Nord Stream gas pipelines, according to state media. HRT television reports the decision is made by a court in Croatia.
HRT states the suspect’s lawyer, Ljubo Pavaskovic, says the defence will appeal the September 18 ruling. The reporting notes the timing of any transfer to Germany is not immediately clear. The man was arrested in the northern Croatian town of Pula after being taken under a European arrest warrant.
Across the available reports, the core details align: the court decision, the person involved (a Ukrainian national), and the alleged link to the 2022 Nord Stream pipeline blasts for which Germany is seeking him. The main differences are limited to how much detail is provided about the arrest and the procedural next steps. Other outlets do not add alternative findings or outcomes in the material provided.
