German Foreign Minister Waldfuhr said on October 14, local time, that the German government will await the trial results of the “Nord Stream” gas pipeline bombing case and include them in future political considerations. On the same day, Waldfuhr held a joint press conference with the Bulgarian foreign minister in Berlin. When asked whether Germany would adjust its relations and aid policy with Ukraine if the trial confirmed that Ukrainian state agencies were involved in planning the “Nord Stream” pipeline bombing, Waldfuhr said that the outcome of the trial is still unclear, and the German government will respect the judicial process and wait for the court to decide. He emphasized that the trial should take place without political interference. Regardless of the outcome of the trial, the German government will take it into political considerations and take a stand after the results are announced. Vadfoor also mentioned that the Ukrainian president had previously denied that the bombing was ordered by the Ukrainian government. The 2022 “Nord Stream” gas pipeline explosion case was first heard at the Hamburg Higher Regional Court in Germany on the same day. Sergei K, a man of Ukrainian nationality, appeared in court for trial on suspicion of participating in planning and carrying out the bombing.
