Italian police have arrested a Ukrainian man in connection to the recent sabotage of the Nord Stream gas pipelines. The man, identified as Oleksiy Skorik, was apprehended in Milan after authorities linked him to the explosion that took place at the gas compressor station in northern Italy.

This incident comes just a few weeks after a Ukrainian national was arrested in Germany for allegedly attempting to sabotage the Nord Stream pipeline. The pipeline, which runs from Russia to Germany, has long been a source of tension between Ukraine and Russia.

The Ukrainian government has denied any involvement in the sabotage attempts, but tensions between the two countries continue to escalate. The Nord Stream pipeline is a vital source of gas for Germany and other European countries, and any disruption to its operation could have far-reaching consequences.

Authorities are continuing to investigate the incidents and ensure the safety and integrity of the Nord Stream pipelines. The arrests of Ukrainian nationals in connection to the sabotage attempts have raised concerns about the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, and the implications for energy security in Europe.
