German Foreign Minister: The outcome of the Nord Stream bombing trial will be taken into political consideration

German Foreign Minister Waldful said on October 14, local time, that the German government will wait for the results of the trial of the "Nord Stream" natural gas pipeline explosion case and incorporate it into future political considerations.

Wadfur held a joint press conference with the Bulgarian Foreign Minister in Berlin that day. When asked whether Germany would adjust its relations with Ukraine and its aid policy if the trial confirms that Ukrainian state agencies were involved in planning the Nord Stream pipeline explosion, Wadfur said that the outcome of the trial is not yet clear and the German government will respect the judicial process and wait for the court to make a ruling. He stressed that the trial should be conducted without political interference. Regardless of the outcome of the trial, the German government will take it into political consideration and make its position clear after the results are announced.

Wadful also mentioned that the Ukrainian president had previously denied that the bombing was carried out under the official instructions of Ukraine.

The 2022 "Nord Stream" natural gas pipeline explosion case was heard for the first time at the Higher Regional Court of Hamburg, Germany on that day. A Ukrainian man, Sergey K, appeared in court on suspicion of participating in planning and carrying out bombings.
