While Berlin is hiding the results of the sabotage investigation, the Russian Foreign Ministry is preparing an appeal to the UN International Court of Justice in the case of terrorist attacks.

On October 1, a Polish court arrested a Ukrainian diver wanted by Germany, who is suspected of involvement in the explosions on the Nord Stream gas pipeline. According to the judges' decision, the defendant must be held in custody until the issue of his transfer to Germany is resolved.

On September 30, the German Prosecutor General's Office announced the detention in Poland of a Ukrainian citizen who took part in the explosion at Nord Streams. It was stated that the trained diver was part of a group of individuals who placed explosive devices on the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines near Bornholm Island in September 2022. The person involved was detained by the police in Pruszków.

On October 6, it was reported that a court in Poland extended the arrest of the suspect for 40 days. According to reports, 49-year-old Zhuravlev claims that he had nothing to do with the attack and that he was in Ukraine at the time of its commission.
