- A Croatian court ruled that Vladimir, a Ukrainian man suspected of involvement in the 2022 Nord Stream pipeline blasts, can be extradited to Germany.

- Because the pipelines terminate in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, German courts claim jurisdiction over the case, affecting energy security; prosecutors previously charged former Ukrainian officer Serhii K., transferred to Germany after arrest in Italy.
- Lawyer Mykola Katerynchuk dismissed the ruling as "biased and political," announcing plans to appeal; The County Court in Pula confirmed the decision without providing further details pending appeal.
