Explosions on 26 September 2022 damaged the Nord Stream gas links in the Baltic Sea, cutting infrastructure that had linked Russia and Germany. The event became the subject of a long-running multinational investigation. German prosecutors later identified Ukrainian suspects, while the Ukrainian government denied ordering the sabotage. This fact records the infrastructure attack and the subsequent attribution dispute; it assigns no personal contribution to Volodymyr Zelenskyy because the cited sources do not establish that he ordered or knew of the operation.
