Ukrainian state authorities were behind the 2022 sabotage of the Nord Stream gas pipelines linking Russia with Europe, German prosecutors said on Thursday.
德国检察官周四表示,乌克兰国家当局是2022年俄罗斯与欧洲之间连接北溪天然气管道遭到破坏事件的幕后黑手。
In a statement detailing the charges brought against suspect Serhii K. on Wednesday, prosecutors said that he and six accomplices had acted "on the orders of state authorities in Ukraine."
检察官在周三发布的针对嫌疑人塞尔吉·K.的指控细节声明中说,他和六名同伙“是在乌克兰国家当局的命令下”行动的。
According to prosecutors, K., now 50, was an "officer in the Ukrainian army" at the time of the operation, and his accomplices were also "military personnel."
据检察官称,现年50岁的K.在行动当时是“乌克兰军队的一名军官”,他的同伙也都是“军人”。
Prosecutors said the plan was to "destroy the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 pipelines" with the objective of "permanently halting gas supplies via the pipelines and preventing Russia from using the revenue from natural gas trade to finance its war efforts."
检察官说,计划是“摧毁北溪1号和北溪2号管道”,目的是“永久切断通过该管道的天然气供应,并阻止俄罗斯利用天然气贸易收入为其战争努力提供资金”。
Germany is one of the biggest military backers of Ukraine in its battle against the ongoing Russian invasion, making the incident potentially diplomatically awkward. Before the war, Germany covered a considerable part of its energy needs with fuel and gas from Russia.
德国是乌克兰对抗俄罗斯持续入侵的最主要军事支持国之一,这使得该事件在外交上可能颇为尴尬。战前,德国能源需求的重要部分来自俄罗斯的燃料和天然气。
Ukrainian authorities said they lacked sufficient information about the case to respond in detail to the German prosecutors' allegations.
乌克兰当局表示,由于掌握的信息不足,无法对德国检察官的指控做出详细回应。
