The amount sought by a right-wing German MP matches what Warsaw demands from Berlin for damages suffered during World War II<\/p>\n
Poland should compensate Germany for \u201ccomplicity\u201d in the 2022 explosions that put the Nord Stream gas pipelines out of operation, a right-wing German politician has claimed.
\nThe amount cited by Kay Gottschalk, an MP from the opposition Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, corresponds to the \u20ac1.3 trillion in compensation for World War II that Warsaw previously demanded from Berlin.
\nGottschalk wrote in an X post on Wednesday that \u201c1.3 trillion euros should suffice as reparations for complicity in the Nord Stream sabotage.\u201d
\nBerlin authorities have attributed the act of sabotage that severely damaged the conduits, which carried Russian gas to Germany under the Baltic Sea, to a small group of Ukrainian nationals. Poland has rejected a German extradition request for a key suspect in the case.
\nIn November, AfD co-chairman Tino Chrupalla told the broadcaster ZDF that while Russia posed no immediate threat to Germany, neighboring Poland could conceivably emerge as one. He cited the \u201ccurrent moral double standards\u201d displayed by the Polish government in refusing to hand over a Ukrainian \u201cterrorist\u201d to German authorities.<\/p>\n

Last October, the Warsaw District Court ruled that Berlin\u2019s extradition request for the suspect in the attacks, Vladimir Zhuravlyov, was \u201cunfounded.\u201d The judge argued at the time that \u201cblowing up critical infrastructure during a war\u2026 is not sabotage but denotes a military action.\u201d
\nA month earlier, the Polish newspaper Rzeczpospolita claimed that Warsaw, which has been one of Kiev\u2019s staunchest backers since 2022, allegedly considered granting asylum to the Ukrainian national. Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski has publicly supported the idea.
\nLast Thursday, Germany\u2019s Federal Court of Justice published a ruling dated December 10, according to which the Nord Stream explosions were likely an \u201cintelligence service\u201d operation ordered by a foreign government.
\nRussian officials have repeatedly expressed deep skepticism over Berlin\u2019s version of events, saying that a small group of Ukrainian saboteurs could not have executed such a sophisticated operation in NATO-controlled waters without direct state assistance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
