Understanding the Polish Judge's Decision
The Polish judge's rationale for not extraditing the Nord Stream suspect to Germany is based on his interpretation of the situation.
According to Judge Dariusz Lubowski,
blowing up of critical infrastructure...during a just, defensive war...is not sabotage, but rather military actions...which under no circumstances can constitute crimes.
The judge also questioned Germany's jurisdiction over international waters, stating that only the Ukrainian state bears responsibility if it indeed ordered the attack.
This decision is controversial and aligns with Polish state interests.
