Germany's allies Poland and Italy blocked extradition of suspects in the 2022 Nord Stream sabotage, challenging EU rules and straining NATO unity.
Germany faces diplomatic strain with allies Poland and Italy after both refused extradition requests for suspected Ukrainian perpetrators of the 2022 Nord Stream pipeline sabotage.
Polish leaders, including Prime Minister Donald Tusk and intelligence chief Slawomir Cenckiewicz, downplayed the attack and suggested pursuing suspects harms national and NATO interests, contradicting EU extradition rules that allow refusal only on human rights grounds.
Italy made a similar refusal, and Ukrainian officials have rebranded the act as a "legitimate" war measure.
Germany has offered no public response, prompting criticism from Hungary’s foreign minister, who condemned the stance as endorsing terrorism.
The incidents reveal growing rifts in EU and NATO unity over accountability and legal obligations.
