[Text/Observer Network Chen Sijia] German media recently broke the news that Germany has locked in a suspect in Poland related to the 2022 Nord Stream pipeline explosion and issued an EU arrest warrant in June, but the man was released by Poland. August Henning, former director of the German Federal Intelligence Service, also accused Poland of deliberately obstructing the investigation, saying that Poland may have participated in sabotaging the Nord Stream pipeline.

According to Bloomberg, on August 17, local time, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk responded to the allegations, saying that the "sponsors and sponsors" of the Nord Stream pipeline project should apologize. Polish Minister of Digitalization Krzysztof Gawkowski also said earlier that the Polish government had nothing to do with the Nord Stream pipeline explosion.

Tusk did not directly respond to the accusation that Poland was involved in sabotage. He posted on the social platform X: "To all the initiators and sponsors of the Nord Stream 1 and 2 projects, the only thing you should do now is to apologize and remain silent."

German media such as Die Zeit and Der Spiegel quoted unnamed sources on the 14th as saying that German investigators believe that a Ukrainian diver codenamed "Vladimir Z" was a member of the gang that placed explosives and blew up the Nord Stream pipeline. The man was last known to live in Poland and teamed up with at least two other Ukrainian citizens to carry out the explosion.
