German prosecutors weigh whether Nord Stream attack was state-ordered amid Ukraine links

German prosecutors are deciding whether the Nord Stream sabotage in 2022 was ordered as a state operation. Bojan Pancevski, the Wall Street Journal’s chief political correspondent in Europe, described the background of the incident on WELT TV and said his reporting explores possible involvement by Ukrainian elite units.

A Markus Lanz segment presents the claim that the attack had state backing from Ukraine, based on the WSJ reporting; the discussion also features former chancellery minister Schmidt challenging the Scholz government’s information policy. The piece references a Junge Freiheit publication and cites the quoted line "Selenskyj hat das genehmigt."
