A suspect in the Nord Stream sabotage case was able to leave Poland unhindered. Now Prime Minister Tusk has spoken out – and could fuel speculation.
A few days after the announcement of an arrest warrant against a Ukrainian in the case of pipeline sabotage in the Baltic Sea, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has commented on Nord Stream. “To all initiators and patrons of Nord Stream 1 and 2: The only thing you should do now is apologize and keep quiet,” Tusk wrote on the online platform X.
Several explosions damaged and interrupted the two gas pipelines Nord Stream 1 and 2 at the end of September 2022. For a long time, there were various speculations about the perpetrators and the masterminds. The Russian-German project was politically highly controversial – not only when Russia attacked Ukraine in February 2022. Poland always opposed the construction of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.
Poland has always been against Nord Stream
The head of the National Security Office in Warsaw, Jacek Siewiera, commented on Tusk’s message on X, saying: “Bad news for those addressed: there is a rock-solid consensus on this issue in Poland.” He added a winking smiley.
On Wednesday it became known that the Polish public prosecutor’s office had received a European arrest warrant from the Federal Prosecutor’s Office to arrest the suspect, who was last in Poland but is said to have fled from there to his home country. After the arrest warrant became known and the suspect left the country, the question arose in Germany as to whether the Polish authorities were cooperating sufficiently in solving the act of sabotage.
