Germany issues first arrest warrant over Nord Stream blasts

"The German Federal Public Prosecutor has issued the first arrest warrant in connection with the sabotage of the Nord Stream gas pipeline, local media have reported. The suspect is believed to be a Ukrainian citizen identified as ‘Vladimir Z’. It is unclear if the suspect has links to Kiev’s military or intelligence services. German officials have reportedly filed a cooperation request with their Polish counterparts in the hope of locating the suspect, who is said to have been tracked to a location west of Warsaw before disappearing.

ARD reported that it had managed to reach the suspect by phone on Tuesday, adding that 'Vladimir Z' insisted he had nothing to do with the sabotage." RT
