2022 Nord Stream Explosions Strain Berlin-Kyiv Relations
The 2022 Nord Stream pipeline explosions have strained relations between Germany and Ukraine, exposing the risks of dependence on Russian gas, according to analysts. The sabotage, which cost up to $19 billion, has become a symbol of the failure of Berlin's 'change through trade' policy and has fundamentally altered energy security debates. As trials of suspects proceed, questions remain about the impact on Berlin-Kyiv relations and Ukraine's future EU and NATO aspirations.
