German authorities have identified all members of the commando responsible for the 2022 Nord Stream pipeline sabotage, with arrest warrants issued for six Ukrainian nationals, including the suspected coordinator Sergey Kuznetsov, who was arrested in Italy. Kuznetsov, 49, a former member of Ukraine's secret service (SBU) and special forces, is accused of leading the operation that involved renting a yacht from a German company and planting at least four devices with delayed-action detonators on the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines. The German investigation revealed that one member of the Ukrainian special forces group involved was trained by the German Armed Forces and confirmed a similar attempted sabotage on the Turk Stream gas pipeline in the Black Sea. Kuznetsov faces charges of sabotage and intentional explosion, carrying a potential sentence of up to 15 years. Meanwhile, the Russian Defense Ministry announced the capture of multiple settlements in eastern Ukraine's Donetsk and Dnipropetrovsk regions, including Kleban-Byk, Sredne, Ozarianivka, Pervomaiske, and Zaboriskyi. For the first time, Ukraine officially acknowledged that Russian troops have entered the Dnipropetrovsk region, with ongoing fighting reported in several villages. Ukrainian forces claim to have regained control over three villages in Donetsk, while Russia continues to assert territorial gains amid stalled peace negotiations. The developments mark an escalation in the conflict as Russian forces push into new Ukrainian territories and investigations into the Nord Stream sabotage raise questions about possible state involvement.
