German federal prosecutors on Thursday confirmed they had charged a Ukrainian national over the 2022 sabotage of the Nord Stream pipeline, accusing him of acting as an accomplice in a war crime. According to an indictment filed on June 30 and seen by POLITICO, prosecutors accuse a man known as Serhii K. of acting as an accomplice in a war crime by carrying out an “attack against civilian objects,” causing an explosion, destroying structures and disrupting public utilities. The development brings one of Europe’s most politically sensitive investigations a step closer to trial. German prosecutors further allege that, as an officer in the Ukrainian army in 2022, he and other military personnel “acting on behalf of state bodies in Ukraine” developed a plan to destroy the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines in order to permanently halt Russian gas deliveries and prevent Moscow from using energy revenues to finance its war. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has denied that his government was involved in the sabotage. Six underwater explosions in September 2022 destroyed three of the four Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines linking Russia and Germany, triggering years of a blame game over who was behind one of Europe’s most consequential acts of sabotage. Russia, Ukraine, the United States and the United Kingdom have all, at various points, been accused or suspected of involvement with varying degrees of evidence. After Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Berlin moved to end imports of Russian gas. German investigators later concluded the sabotage had been planned by a Ukrainian group as early as 2014, as previously reported by WELT and POLITICO. Investigators believe Serhii K. commanded the sailing yacht Andromeda, from which the operation was allegedly launched. According to the indictment, he entered Germany via Poland in September 2022 using a forged Ukrainian passport before transporting military-grade explosives by yacht to waters near the Danish island of Bornholm. German investigators have previously said traces of the explosives HMX and RDX were found aboard the vessel. The man was then arrested in Italy in August 2025, extradited to Germany three months later and has remained in pretrial detention in Hamburg ever since. Serhii K. denies the allegations. His indictment marks the first time German prosecutors have formally brought the Nord Stream sabotage case before a court.

BRUSSELS — Europe’s top court on Thursday dismissed Google’s appeal against a €4.1 billion Android antitrust fine, handing the European Commission a major victory in one of its longest-running antitrust battles with Big Tech. The Court of Justice of the European Union upheld a lower court’s 2022 judgment, which largely backed the Commission’s finding that Google abused its dominant position by imposing restrictions on makers of smartphones that use its Android operating system and mobile network operators to protect the dominance of its Search and Chrome services. The General Court reduced the original €4.34 billion penalty to €4.125 billion, a fine that now stands. The ruling “fails to recognize our significant investment to ensure Android remains open, interoperable and free,” a Google spokesperson said in a statement. The company said it had complied with the initial findings from 2018 and remains “focused on continued innovation and openness for our users, partners and developers.” The ruling brings to a close a case that was one of the defining antitrust battles of former Competition Commissioner Margrethe Vestager’s tenure and reinforces the Commission’s use of traditional competition law to tackle the market power of digital platforms. At the heart of the case were agreements requiring smartphone manufacturers seeking access to Google’s Play Store to pre-install Google Search and Chrome, alongside restrictions that the Commission said made it harder for rival search engines and browsers to compete.  The judgment is also expected to shape future abuse-of-dominance cases under Article 102, particularly on how EU competition authorities assess tying practices in digital markets. While the bloc now relies increasingly on the Digital Markets Act to regulate large online platforms, the ruling provides another judicial endorsement of the legal principles that underpinned Brussels’ earlier antitrust crackdown on Big Tech.
