<h1>Extradition approved for Ukrainian suspect in 2022 Nord Stream pipeline explosions; suspect appeals over hearing access and evidence disclosure</h1> An Italian appeals court approved the extradition to Germany of a Ukrainian national arrested in August on a European arrest warrant in connection with 2022 undersea explosions that damaged the Nord Stream pipelines. The suspect opposes extradition and, through counsel, plans to appeal to Italy's Court of Cassation, alleging denial of the right to attend the extradition hearing and incomplete disclosure of German case documents. German prosecutors have provided limited details but previously reported finding traces of undersea explosives in samples recovered during their investigation. The extradition decision now awaits higher-court review.
