Italy to extradite Nord Stream blast suspect to Germany
ROME — Italy's top appeals court has ruled that a Ukrainian man suspected of involvement in blowing up the Nord Stream gas pipelines between Russia and Germany should be extradited to Berlin.There, former Ukrainian military officer Serhiy Kuznetsov will face a charge of anti-constitutional sabotage.
