A Polish judge ruled on Oct. 17 against extraditing a Ukrainian national who is wanted in Germany in connection with the 2022 bombing of a series of underwater natural gas pipelines running between Russia and Germany.

The Ukrainian national, who was identified in court records only as Volodymyr Z. due to German privacy laws, was detained in Poland last month, after the German government issued a warrant for his arrest in June.
