The impunity in the case of the sabotage of the Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines may trigger new similar precedents, Russia’s ambassador to Germany Sergey Nechayev said in response to a question from TASS. "In addition to the enormous environmental damage, there was a significant financial damage, including to our country, and economic damage to Germany. Earlier, the German Prosecutor General's Office said it had charged a Ukrainian citizen, Sergey Kuznetsov, who is suspected of being involved in the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines. The agency believes that he and his accomplices prepared a plan for the sabotage on behalf of Ukrainian government agencies. On September 26, 2022, unprecedented damage was reported on three lines of the Nord Stream pipeline and the unfinished Nord Stream 2 pipeline.
