Volodymyr Zhuravlev, a man suspected of involvement in the 2022 Nord Stream pipeline explosions, was arrested in Croatia while working as a consultant on a movie about the incident. The movie, directed by Doug Liman and starring Sean Penn, reconstructs the pipeline sabotage. German authorities issued a European arrest warrant, and Zhuravlev is likely to face trial in Germany.
Key Facts
Zhuravlev is suspected of participating in the underwater sabotage of the Nord Stream gas pipelines in 2022.
He was arrested in Pula, Croatia, where a film about the explosions was being made.
The film is a political thriller directed by Doug Liman, featuring actors Sean Penn and Adrien Brody.
Zhuravlev had previously avoided arrest by slipping out of Poland in a diplomatic car and being released by a court.
German prosecutors say Zhuravlev is an experienced diver linked to a group that planted explosives allegedly on behalf of Ukrainian intelligence.
Ukraine denies involvement in the pipeline attacks and wants the true facts established.
Poland refused to extradite Zhuravlev to Germany last year, citing lack of German jurisdiction and considering the sabotage potentially justifiable as defense in the war with Russia.
If convicted in Germany, Zhuravlev faces a long prison sentence, but his lawyers will try to block his extradition from Croatia.

A professor who appeared in a Channel 4 documentary about ADHD has withdrawn her support, saying the show misrepresented her views and was biased. She warned that the programme could lead parents to stop their children’s medication, which might increase risks like anxiety, depression, and other problems.
Key Facts
Katya Rubia, a neuroscience professor, took part in the Channel 4 show to give an alternative view on ADHD.
She says the documentary misused her comments and pushed the idea that ADHD is not a real medical condition.
The show suggests ADHD is a "social construct" and advocates supporting children without medication.
Rubia says ADHD is often underdiagnosed and undertreated in the UK.
She warned stopping medication can lead to problems like higher anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and suicide risk.
The documentary featured a 10-year-old boy, Mason, being taken off medication, but Rubia said other changes also happened, making the results unclear.
Research shows medication helps children with ADHD manage emotions and improve social relationships more than alternative treatments.
Long-term medication use for ADHD is linked to many benefits including lower suicide and crime rates, with minor side effects.

Croatia has ordered the detention of a Ukrainian man wanted by Germany for his alleged role in the 2022 explosions that damaged the Nord Stream gas pipelines. The man was arrested in Croatia, and extradition proceedings to Germany are expected, although the timeline is unclear.
Key Facts
A Ukrainian man was detained in Croatia under a European arrest warrant related to the 2022 Nord Stream pipeline explosions.
The Nord Stream pipelines carry natural gas from Russia to Germany under the Baltic Sea.
The explosions happened on September 26, 2022, damaging the pipelines and increasing tensions during the Russia-Ukraine war.
German prosecutors say the suspect is a trained scuba diver who helped plant explosives on the pipelines.
This suspect was previously arrested in Poland but released because Polish courts denied Germany’s extradition request.
Another Ukrainian, a former army officer, was charged and extradited to Germany in late 2025 for the same incident.
The explosions affected Nord Stream 1, Russia’s main gas route to Germany before supply was cut in 2022, and Nord Stream 2, which never went into service.
Early suspicions blamed Russia, but German investigations later suggested Ukrainian involvement.

A recent study found that women in the United States who eat diets higher in antioxidants may have a lower chance of having cervical cancer. The study looked at dietary antioxidants and cervical cancer but advised that vaccination and regular screening remain the best ways to prevent the disease.
Key Facts
The study was published in August 2026 in the International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics.
Researchers used data from 1,044 women in the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2003 to 2018.
Out of these women, 174 had cervical cancer and 870 did not.
Researchers measured antioxidant intake using the Composite Dietary Antioxidant Index (CDAI).
Each one-unit increase in CDAI was linked to an 11.4% lower chance of cervical cancer.
Women with the highest third of CDAI scores had a 55.8% lower chance of cervical cancer than those with the lowest third.
The study suggests antioxidant intake might help prevent cervical cancer but does not prove it.
Doctors emphasize that HPV vaccination and regular cervical cancer screening remain essential for prevention.
