Reference News reported on August 18According to a report on the German News TV channel website on August 17, German prosecutors issued an arrest warrant for a Ukrainian in connection with the sabotage of the Nord Stream gas pipeline under the Baltic Sea. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk expressed his position on the investigation of the Nord Stream gas pipeline case on the 17th. He wrote on the social platform X: "To all initiators and supporters of Nord Stream 1 and 2: The only thing you should do now is to apologize and shut up."

The report mentioned that at the end of September 2022, multiple explosions damaged the Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines. To this day, there are still various speculations about who carried out and was behind the sabotage. This Russian-German joint project has always faced some opposition - not only after the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict in February 2022. Poland has always opposed the construction of Nord Stream 2.

Jacek Szeworla, head of Poland's National Security Service, commented on Tusk's message on X. "In Poland there is a solid consensus on this matter. And for those mentioned, this is bad news," he wrote, adding a smiley face emoji.

German media reported on the 14th that the Polish prosecutors had received a European arrest warrant issued by the German prosecutors for the suspect. The person was living in Poland at the time, but it is said that he fled from there to his homeland Ukraine. After the arrest warrant was issued and the suspect's escape was made public, some people in Germany questioned whether the Polish authorities were fully cooperating in investigating the sabotage.
