A Ukrainian diver suspected by Germany of involvement in the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines has requested political asylum in Croatia. This information was reported by Ukraine’s public broadcaster, Suspilne, citing the suspect’s lawyer. The individual, a Ukrainian national, is wanted in Germany in connection with the investigation into the damage to the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 pipelines. Details surrounding the alleged sabotage and the suspect's potential motives remain under investigation. The request for asylum in Croatia introduces a new layer of complexity to the ongoing international inquiry. Suspilne did not provide further details regarding the legal process or the suspect’s current location within Croatia. German authorities have not yet commented on the asylum request.
