(FILES) This file handout photo released on September 27, 2022 and taken from an aircraft of the Swedish Coast Guard (Kustbevakningen) shows the release of gas emanating from a leak on the Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline, with the leak measuring over 950 meters in diameter, in the Swedish economic zone in the Baltic Sea, near the Danish island of Bornholm. A German court will next month put a Ukrainian man on trial over the 2022 bombing of the Nord Stream seafloor gas pipelines linking Russia with Europe, the tribunal said on September 3, 2026. Serhii Kuznietsov will face the Hamburg Higher Regional Court from October 14 in a trial expected to last until February. The Baltic Sea sabotage attack came months after Russia's February 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine and destroyed three of four pipelines of the major energy link.
