The Telegraph reports:

Authorities in Poland have arrested a Ukrainian man in connection with the bombing of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline.

Local media reports named the suspect as “Volodymyr Z”, not giving his complete last name, a year after German prosecutors issued a warrant, describing him as a diving instructor based in Poland.

“I confirm that he has been arrested. Procedures are under way,” Piotr Skiba, the Warsaw regional prosecutor’s office spokesman, told the AFP news agency.

The man is suspected of being one of the divers who planted the explosive devices in an operation that also involved a married couple who ran a diving school. . . .

While some in the West were quick to accuse Russia of carrying out the attack, German investigators now believe they have identified a Ukrainian cell of five men and one woman as the perpetrators.

According to a report in the Wall Street Journal, the mission was first approved by Volodymyr Zelensky, Ukraine’s president, before being called off. Despite this, it went ahead under orders from Gen Valerii Zaluzhnyi, now Kyiv’s ambassador to the UK.

I honestly had wondered if we would ever get to the bottom of this, or whether answering the questions were just too embarrassing for Germany and the West at large. This is, after all, the largest single release of carbon into the atmosphere, and an event that guaranteed that Germany must suffer serious energy price inflation.
