MOSCOW (Reuters) -The Kremlin said on Thursday that it was satisfied with the progress of a German investigation into attacks on the Nord Stream gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea in 2022 after Italy arrested a suspect wanted in Germany.

An Italian appeals court earlier this month confirmed the arrest of the 49-year-old Ukrainian man suspected by Germany of coordinating the attacks which largely severed Russian gas supplies to Europe.
