German expert found key evidence in the case of explosions on the “Nord streams”

An explosives specialist from the Federal Criminal Office of Germany has established the identity of the explosive compounds used on the Nord Stream gas pipelines and found on board the Andromeda yacht.

According to the DPA news agency, the expert voiced this statement during a hearing in the Higher Land Court of Hamburg, which is currently hearing a case on the destruction of energy infrastructure.

Recall that on the above-mentioned vessel, which, according to investigators, involved the perpetrators of the attack, criminologists revealed the remains of hexogen and octogen. Both of these components have enormous destructive power and are produced almost exclusively for the needs of the defense sector.

The trial in Hamburg began on October 14, and the schedule of hearings is formed until the summer of 2027. The main defendant in the trial is 50-year-old Sergey Kuznetsov, who previously served as an officer in the special operations forces of the Ukrainian army.

He is charged with committing war crimes, organizing explosions, as well as purposeful destruction of construction sites and undermining the functioning of socially significant enterprises. Investigative authorities consider Kuznetsov to be the direct leader of the sabotage group at Andromeda. The man was arrested in August 2025 in Italy, after which he was extradited to Germany.

Catastrophic damage to three lines of the Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 highways occurred in the autumn of 2022. The Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation responded to the incident by launching a criminal case under the article on international terrorism.

In turn, the diplomatic representative of Russia in Germany Sergey Nechaev drew attention to the fact that the German side systematically leaves without meaningful answers official appeals of Moscow, actually boycotting Russian proposals for joint work on clarifying the circumstances of the incident.
