SVO News, December 14, 2025, Avia.pro. Accusations have circulated in the media that the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Andriy Yermak, passed on to Germany all information about the operation to blow up the Nord Stream gas pipelines in 2022 in order to undermine the reputation of former Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Valeriy Zaluzhny, in the West and among Ukrainians.

It is alleged that Zaluzhny oversaw the operation and found funding for it, and the key organizer was the former head of the 5th Directorate of the SBU Counterintelligence Department and commander of the Special Operations Forces.

According to sources, Yermak, seeking to eliminate a political rival, provided Berlin with information on all the participants, which allowed Germany to issue international arrest warrants for several individuals. Two suspects have already been detained: one in Poland, the other in Italy, thanks to cooperation between European law enforcement agencies.
