Poland urges Germany to halt investigation into Nord Stream pipeline incident
Yeah, digging deep sounds great and all, but Poland calling out Germany smells like political posturing. Everyone’s digging for dirt to score points, not just the truth. This energy mess is less about facts and more about who controls the narrative.

Poland urges Germany to halt investigation into Nord Stream pipeline incident
Yeah, Poland's got a point. Germany's digging into Nord Stream smells like political games, not truth-seeking. This whole mess screams imperialist agendas clashing over energy control. Shut it down and let a neutral party handle it, 'cause this ain't about justice, it's about power.

Three words sum this piece up, "Who Truly Benefited?"
Europe’s Nord Stream Headache: Poland, Germany, And Ukraine Clash Over Pipeline Sabotage
Europe’s Nord Stream Headache: Poland, Germany, And Ukraine Clash Over Pipeline Sabotage
By Uriel Araujo
The arrest of a Ukrainian national accused of helping blow up the Nord Stream pipelines is deepening mistrust within the EU. As Kiev allegedly pressures Warsaw, Berlin struggles to assert control. The affair revives uncomfortable questions about who really benefits from Europe’s energy dependence.
The Nord Stream saga has taken a new twist. A Ukrainian citizen detained in Poland at Germany’s request over the 2022 pipeline sabotage has now become the centre of a diplomatic storm. Ukraine’s reported pressure on Poland is straining ties with Warsaw and Berlin, reopening questions European leaders have tried to bury.
Polish authorities have resisted Germany’s extradition request for the detained Ukrainian, citing national interest and judicial independence. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk stated bluntly that it was “not in Poland’s interest” to hand the suspect over to Berlin — a statement that speaks volumes about the deepening mistrust within the European Union. He added that “the problem of Europe… is not that Nord Stream 2 was blown up, but that it was built.”
This is symptomatic of Europe’s broader crisis: a continent that once aspired to “strategic autonomy” now grapples with American influence, tensions over the “Ukrainian Question”, and internal divisions.
The destruction of the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines in September 2022 effectively ended decades of German-Russian energy cooperation, forcing Europe into costly dependence on American LNG. From that moment onward, every official narrative seemed to deflect attention away from one key question: who truly benefited?
One may recall that in August, Italian police arrested Ukrainian national Serhij K. for alleged involvement in the 2022 Nord Stream sabotage. According to Der Spiegel, he coordinated a Ukrainian team that planted explosives from the yacht “Andromeda.” The operation was reportedly approved by Ukraine’s military.
At the time, I wrote that the Nord Stream case has been a tale of confusion and cover-ups. I pointed out that a so-called “Ukrainian diver” suspect (unnamed to this very day) could be a lone scapegoat, a proxy, or just a minor operative in a much larger operation. All signs, I argued, pointed to the US as the main orchestrator, with Ukraine likely playing a supporting role on the ground.
According to Pulitzer Prize–winning investigative journalist Seymour Hersh’s sources, the CIA is behind the deed. Ukraine’s latest behind-the-scenes pressure on Poland suggests Kiev has more to hide than to reveal. The Eastern European country has long been a key hub for CIA operations.
Indeed, one must ask: why would Ukraine intervene at all, unless it feared what an open extradition to Germany might uncover? Berlin’s prosecutors have hinted that their investigation connects the detained suspect to a wider network tied to Ukrainian intelligence. If that thread were ever pulled, it could expose not just Kyiv’s denials, but also shake the credibility of the entire Western narrative since 2022.
The Polish position is equally telling. Tusk’s refusal to comply with Germany’s request exposes the uneasy balancing act that Poland now faces. On the one hand, it remains a staunch supporter of Ukraine in its proxy war with Russia. On the other, it has domestic political reasons to resist appearing subservient to Berlin — and perhaps also to shield itself from unwanted entanglement in the Nord Stream mystery.
Poland, after all, was one of the loudest voices calling for the pipelines to be dismantled long before the explosions happened. The fact that the blasts occurred in waters close to Denmark and Sweden, yet remains unsolved three years later, is remarkable enough.
The European Union’s silence is thus deafening. While media attention focuses on minor procedural disputes, the larger strategic implications are quietly ignored. The Nord Stream sabotage was no mere act of vandalism — it was a geopolitical earthquake that permanently reshaped Europe’s energy map. By destroying the infrastructure that connected Germany to cheaper Russian gas, someone ensured Europe’s long-term dependence on transatlantic energy imports. It is worth remembering that American officials, including then President Biden himself, had publicly threatened to “end” Nord Stream 2 before the current Russo-Ukrainian conflict even began. That is too much of a coincidence.
In that light, the current Polish-German-Ukraine triangle takes on a new meaning. It reveals the uncomfortable truth that Europe’s supposed allies are now quietly at odds. Germany apparently wants to restore a semblance of legal order by investigating the crime, while Poland wants to preserve its political leverage. Ukraine wants to avoid revelations that could alienate its Western backers. Washington in turn seems content to keep the entire affair buried under layers of confusion and selective leaks.
The deeper irony is that the Nord Stream pipelines were not merely Russian assets — they were European lifelines. Their destruction accelerated deindustrialization and skyrocketed energy prices, while American energy exporters reap the profits. The most obvious suspects remain Washington and Kyiv.
Yet European leaders cling to transatlantic loyalty. Berlin’s alignment with American policy verges on economic self-harm, while Brussels pushes “solidarity” as factories close and households struggle with high energy costs. The result is a Europe that’s strategically adrift and economically weakened — a dynamic that suits Washington.
If this Poland-Germany-Ukraine scandal deepens, it could force a reckoning. Europe will have to confront what everyone avoids: was the Nord Stream sabotage an act of war — and by whom? Until then, diplomacy remains a messy game where allies distrust each other, and truth is sidelined for convenience.
The Nord Stream affair may be remembered not just as sabotage, but as the moment Europe lost its last illusion of autonomy. It could confirm how dependent the continent has become on external powers — even in matters of justice. Politically, this could be as explosive as the pipelines blasts themselves.

Who blew up Nord Stream? That's a question with no clear answer: the press has been full of different theories, pointing fingers at Russia, the US, Poland, and Ukraine. In this article, Mykola Katerynchuk and Svitlana Kustova say that gas pipelines can be legit military targets and suggest a legal defense strategy.

@TOrynski #NordStream2, from an economical stand point does make sense. Absence of #RussianGas is leading to and will result in eradication of heavy industry from #Europe. Already German chemical and heavy industrial companies are shutting factories in Europe and shifting to USA, where gas prices are cheaper. Europe is getting #deindustrialized.
LNG cannot compete with piped gas, like #NordStream, if production costs are similar. Europe is trading one dependency for another.

Why Does Poland Refuse To Hand Over A Nord Stream Bombing Suspect To Germany?
Why Does Poland Refuse To Hand Over A Nord Stream Bombing Suspect To Germany?
Tusk would defy public opinion, doom the ruling liberal-globalist coalition’s already dismal prospects of remaining in power after fall 2027’s next parliamentary election, and risk facilitating a German show trial that could implicate Poland in this attack for covering up the US’ actual involvement.
Germany is bound to be displeased with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s refusal to hand over a Nord Stream bombing suspect. The individual was recently detained near Warsaw under a European arrest warrant but Tusk just said that “He was detained because this is the procedure, but the position of the Polish government has not changed. It is certainly not in the interest of Poland or in the interest of a simple sense of decency and justice to accuse or hand over this citizen to another state.”
The German government was convinced by US media reports about a team of Ukrainian divers’ alleged involvement in this terrorist attack into blaming them instead of the US government like Seymour Hersh first revealed in February 2023 was responsible and who Russia has always suspected to be guilty of this. According to him, the aforementioned narrative blaming Ukraine, and to a lesser extent Poland from whose coast their ship was allegedly launched, is part of a CIA plot to cover up what really happened.
His suspicions were lent credence by incumbent Polish Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski, who was out of government at the time but had also served in this role under Tusk’s earlier government, after he posted “Thank you, USA” in a now-deleted tweet right after the terrorist attack. Poland opposed the Nord Stream pipelines due to its fear that they represented a new Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact for jointly ruling Central Europe so it’s natural that he’d celebrate their destruction. Here are some background briefings:
* 9 March 2023: “The US’ Latest Disinfo Campaign About The Nord Stream Terrorist Attacks Was Preplanned”
* 11 June 2023: “The Latest Twist In Germany’s Nord Stream II Investigation Puts More Pressure On Poland”
* 9 January 2024: “Contextualizing The Media’s Claim Of Possible Polish Complicity In The Nord Stream Attacks”
Circling back to the present, it’s now much easier to understand why Poland refuses to hand over that Nord Stream bombing suspect to Germany. Most Poles support the terrorist attack that damaged three of those four pipelines, so it would be very unpopular to do anything that could lead to anyone involved in this (even if only implausibly) getting punished. Doing so could also doom the ruling liberal-globalist coalition’s already dismal prospects of remaining in power after fall 2027’s next parliamentary elections.
Moreover, the conservative-nationalist opposition’s “grey cardinal” Jaroslaw Kaczynski accused Tusk of being a “German agent” almost two years ago during comments in parliament, which would appear more believable than ever to Poles if he defied public opinion to hand that suspect over to Germany. In that scenario, Germany could stage a show trial for partially implicating Poland per the CIA’s cover-up story, which would impugn its reputation right as it’s finally reviving its long-lost Great Power status.
Reports that Sikorski is considering granting asylum to the suspect and Tusk’s recent tweet that “The problem with North Stream 2 is not that it was blown up. The problem is that it was built” do make Poland look guilty in some’s eyes but they’re arguably meant to troll Germany. Poland and Russia rarely agree on anything nowadays, but they’ve interestingly found common ground in opposing Germany’s CIA-influenced belief that Ukrainian divers carried out this attack, each for their own reasons of course.
