Russia is turning up the heat at the United Nations after a Ukrainian suspect was arrested in Italy over the 2022 Nord Stream pipeline explosions. The UN Security Council will hold an emergency meeting Friday to discuss what Moscow calls Germany's 'non-transparent' investigation into the sabotage. 🔍
What's Happening?
Dmitry Polyanskiy, Russia's top UN diplomat, announced the meeting on social media, claiming the explosions were an act of 'international terrorism.' The blasts damaged three of four Nord Stream pipelines—critical energy arteries between Russia and Europe—in September 2022. 💣
Suspect in the Spotlight
German prosecutors say Ukrainian national Serhii K. was detained in Italy for allegedly coordinating the attack. He denies involvement, insisting he was in Ukraine at the time, and refuses extradition to Germany, where he could face 15 years in prison. ⚖️
Geopolitical Firestorm
Russia has long accused the U.S. of backing the sabotage, calling it a 'terrorist act.' With tensions already high over the Ukraine conflict, this meeting could reignite debates about energy security and global alliances. 🌐
