Germany should close the Nord Stream 2 pipeline project if Russia attacks Ukraine. This was stated by Manfred Weber, leader of the centrist faction of the European People's Party and co-chairman of the Bavarian Christian Social Union.
According to him, NATO should force Russia to understand that aggressive actions against Ukraine “ will come at a high price & # 39; & # 39 ;; according to Bild am Sonntag. Such a “high price” fate of Nord Stream 2 may be just the case.
Weber added that if Moscow actually “uses weapons”, the pipeline will end.
Meanwhile, the head of the Ukrainian company & quot; Naftogaz & quot; Yuri Vitrenko called the German decision to allow Nord Stream 2 to establish a subsidiary a “mockery”. He believes that Nord Stream 2 does not comply with EU rules and therefore cannot be certified. He also condemned the idea of licensing only part of the pipeline.
In recent weeks, the West has been actively discussing the issue of Russia's alleged preparations for the invasion of Ukraine. Moscow denies the allegations. Russian diplomats have repeatedly stated that this rhetoric is used to pull NATO troops to Russia's borders. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the country was not obliged to report to other states the movement of its troops through its territory.
