The trial of a Ukrainian man accused of involvement in the 2022 Nord Stream pipeline explosions has begun in Hamburg, Germany. Former Ukrainian army officer Serhii Kuznietsov faces allegations relating to the sabotage of pipelines that once carried Russian gas to Germany. He denies wrongdoing, and Ukraine denies involvement in the attacks. The case could have political consequences for Germany's continued military support for Ukraine. The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD), which opposes military aid to Kyiv, is already demanding compensation over the pipeline attacks. DW examines the allegations, the political fallout and the possible implications for German-Ukrainian relations. Political correspondent Matthew Moore reports from Hamburg, where the trial has begun.
