Sergey Kiznetsov, a former Ukrainian soldier, is on trial in Hamburg for the 2022 sabotage of the Nord Stream gas pipelines. German prosecutors have classified the attack as a war crime because the pipelines were civilian infrastructure, while the defense argues they were legitimate military targets used to fund Russia's war effort. The trial is diplomatically sensitive given Germany's role as a primary military backer of Ukraine.
