司法 · “北溪”审判“北溪”审判开庭，辩方质疑破坏行为是否构成犯罪文字 2026年10月14日 UTC 14:22观看文字实录0:07Serhi Kuznetsov's lawyers want the Nordstream sabotage charges thrown out.0:11German prosecutors accuse him of helping attack civilian infrastructure on behalf of0:15Ukrainian state authorities.0:16The case reaches into the question of state responsibility for explosions that0:20damaged pipelines connecting Russia and Germany.0:22The court must decide whether the evidence proves his role and whether the attack0:26was criminal.0:27Kuznetsov appeared at Hamburg's Hanseatic Higher Regional Court on October 14th,0:31becoming the first suspect to reach trial.0:33He's 50 and a former Ukrainian army officer, also described as a former special0:38forces soldier.0:39His lawyers sought dismissal, arguing that destroying Russian infrastructure might0:42not have been a crime.0:44A defense lawyer also said Russia used the pipelines as a political and economic0:48weapon.0:48Prosecutors treat the operation as an attack on civilian infrastructure.0:52Kuznetsov denies involvement.0:54His lawyers' challenge to the attack's legality sits alongside that denial.0:58He faces accusations of being an accomplice to war crimes, causing an explosion,1:02damaging property, and disrupting public services.1:05The war crime accusation concerns an alleged attack on civilian objects by military1:09means under Germany's law covering crimes against international law.1:12The explosion struck beneath the Baltic Sea near the Danish island of Bornholm on1:16September 26, 2022.1:18Nordstream carried gas infrastructure between Russia and Germany.1:22Prosecutors say the operation aimed to stop those deliveries permanently.1:25The blasts damaged three of the four pipeline lines.1:28Descriptions differ over whether to call that damage or destruction.1:31Nordstream 1 was badly damaged, and Nordstream 2 was also damaged.1:35Prosecutors allege that at least four devices were detonated near Bornholm, about 801:40meters underwater.1:42The devices allegedly weighed up to 27 kilograms each.1:45Those figures describe a maximum weight and an approximate depth.1:49Prosecutors accuse Kuznetsov of helping organize and execute the operation,1:54including leading a group of divers.1:56Some descriptions call him the alleged mastermind.1:59The role alleged against him concerns organizing the operation.2:02Who authorized it is still unresolved.2:04A July account of the charges also described an alleged operation using a yacht.2:09Prosecutors place the planning in late February 2022, when Kuznetsov and other2:14military personnel allegedly worked on a plan to halt Nord Stream deliveries.2:18They allege the plan was undertaken on behalf of Ukrainian state authorities.2:22Their explanation of the motive is to prevent Russian gas revenue from helping2:25finance Russia's war in Ukraine.2:26That puts an alleged wartime objective at the center of a case about civilian2:30infrastructure.2:30President Volodymyr Zelensky has denied Ukraine's involvement in the blasts.2:35Ukraine's denial confronts the prosecution's allegation of state direction, while2:39Kuznetsov denies his own participation.2:42The court will have to assess the evidence against him.2:44Kuznetsov was arrested while on holiday in Italy in August 2025 and extradited to2:50Germany late that year.2:51His October 14th court appearance in Hamburg follows that international arrest and2:55surrender process.2:56The trial now tests the accusations against him.2:59Prosecutors reportedly cite nautical charts found on Kuznetsov's phone and3:03information from his smartwatch.3:05Their contents and connection to the attack are unclear.3:08Those claims will need to be assessed alongside the rest of the case.3:11Kuznetsov is reportedly held in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day, although3:16those conditions haven't been confirmed.3:18If accurate, he spends most of each day apart from other people while his case is3:22being tried.3:22Prosecutors have identified seven Ukrainian suspects, but only Kuznetsov is on trial3:27in these proceedings.3:28Another suspect has also been arrested.3:31Volodymyr Jaravlov's separate case is moving through the Croatian courts.3:34Zurevlov was arrested in Pula, Croatia, in August 2026.3:39A court photograph places him at a hearing there on August 20.3:43Croatia approved his extradition to Germany in September, and his lawyers announced3:48an appeal.3:48The extradition decision is reported as September 18th, with the written ruling3:53delivered to the parties on September 23rd.3:55They had three days to appeal to Croatia's high criminal court.3:59The announced appeal's outcome is unclear.4:02On September 30th, Zhoravlov's lawyer said he had sought asylum in Croatia because4:07he didn't expect a fair trial in Germany.4:09Whether he's since been handed over, or will join the Hamburg proceedings, hasn't4:14been confirmed.4:15A small group of pro-Ukrainian demonstrators gathered outside the Hamburg court.4:19They argued that disabling the pipelines weakened Moscow's ability to fund its war.4:24Their argument echoes the alleged motive, but the prosecution still has to prove its4:28case.4:28Kuznetsov's responsibility and the defense's challenge to criminality await the4:32court's judgment.4:33No decision on the dismissal request has been announced, and there's no verdict.4:37The allegation of Ukrainian state direction still leaves open who, if anyone,4:41authorized the attack within those institutions.4:44The court has 16 trial dates scheduled through December 17th.4:48An earlier schedule described twice weekly hearings until at least February.4:52December 17th therefore isn't a promised finish.4:55Further hearings are likely in January and February.阅读文章事件时间线HeyDex短视频 ↗谁报道了什么多家媒体报道的要点✓When the trial began in Germany已独立证实 · 7
