Polish Judge Rejects Handing Nord Stream Suspect to Germany

A Polish court declined to extradite to Germany a Ukrainian national suspected of helping sabotage the Nord Stream gas link, saying the destruction of the pipeline was justified by Russia’s attack on Ukraine. The man, identified as Volodymyr Zhuravlov, is wanted under a European arrest warrant issued by a German court and has been in Polish police custody since Sept. 30. Germany’s foreign minister signaled the government in Berlin wouldn’t challenge the court ruling.
