The President of Poland, Karol Nawrocki, stressed during a press conference in Vilnius that Germany might not have had a fair judicial investigation into Volodymyr Zhuravlov, who is suspected of sabotaging the Nord Stream gas pipeline. His statement became one of the main focal points of discussions on Ukrainian-Polish-German security and justice issues.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cWe have a ruling by an independent Polish court (\u2026) And it is very good that Mr. Zhuravlov remains in Poland,\u201d the Polish president replied to journalists\u2019 questions. \u2013 I truly agree that on the German side he might not have faced a fair trial.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2013 The President of Poland Karol Nawrocki\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
According to Nawrocki, the Nord Stream project was meant to benefit Germany while delivering Russia billions in profits, which, in the opinion of the author of the statements, influenced the overall dynamics of conflicts in the region.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cyou cannot punish a citizen of Ukraine for the fact that when his country is being destroyed by [the leader of the Kremlin] Vladimir Putin, he participates in such actions\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2013 Karol Nawrocki\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\n\u201cConsidering the interests of the German state in the context of Nord Stream 2 one can suppose that \u2013 indeed, this was noted in part of the verdict \u2013 that business arguments or economic arguments would have outweighed common sense\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2013 Karol Nawrocki\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Also commenting on the Polish court\u2019s decision was Tomasz Siemoniak, a coordinator of the security services and a minister, who on Polskie Radio called the ruling regarding Zhuravlov correct. According to him, Poland demonstrates that it is a rule-of-law state, and that the judge considered the case more broadly from a moral point of view.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cHere we have a clear assessment of Nord Stream as such and of this German-Russian cooperation, which was aimed against Poland, the Central and Eastern European countries, and we spoke about this well before the war\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2013 Tomasz Siemoniak\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
According to socio-political developments, on September 30 a Ukrainian national was detained in Poland, whom Germany suspects of involvement in the Nord Stream explosion. The detention occurred in Pruszk\u00f3w, after which the suspect fell under the jurisdiction of the Warsaw District Prosecutor\u2019s Office. On October 1, the Warsaw District Court chose a preventive measure in the form of seven days\u2019 temporary detention, and on October 6 the term was extended by another 40 days. On October 17, the Polish court denied Germany\u2019s extradition request and ordered the immediate release of the accused from custody; the prosecutor\u2019s office does not plan to appeal the decision.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"President of Poland Karol Navrotsky at a press conference with the President of Lithuania Gitanas Naus\u0117da, Vilnius, October…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":515656,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5310],"tags":[2000,299,168329,1824,168330,51030,12,55611,168331,168332,66064,168328,168333,168334,168335],"class_list":{"0":"post-515655","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-germany","8":"tag-eu","9":"tag-europe","10":"tag-extradition-refusal","11":"tag-germany","12":"tag-germany-judicial-fairness","13":"tag-karol-nawrocki","14":"tag-news","15":"tag-nord-stream","16":"tag-pipeline-sabotage","17":"tag-poland-court","18":"tag-polish-president","19":"tag-polish-president-karol-nawrocki-nord-stream-vladimir-zhuravlev-germany-judicial-fairness-pipeline-sabotage-poland-court-extradition-refusal-regional","20":"tag-regional-security","21":"tag-ukraine-poland-germany-relations","22":"tag-vladimir-zhuravlev"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115409297877425005","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/515655","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=515655"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/515655\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/515656"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=515655"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=515655"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=515655"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
