The Croatian court has authorized the extradition to Germany of Ukrainian Vladimir Zhuravlev, suspected of the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines. Zhuravlev was detained in Croatia, where he had traveled to consult on a film with Sean Penn about the Nord Stream sabotage.
Another suspect in the case, Sergey Kuznetsov, was detained in Italy in August 2025 — he decided to go there after it became known that Germany was conducting a major investigation into the Nord Stream sabotage and was seeking the perpetrators worldwide, knowing their names. Kuznetsov has already been extradited to Germany.
A total of seven alleged participants are involved in the Nord Stream sabotage case. German investigators say they have identified the entire group, but so far only three names are public — Vladimir Zhuravlev, Sergey Kuznetsov, and former porn model turned diving instructor Valeria Chernyshova.
