“The plans for the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline have not changed,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in commenting on the Russian state news agency TASS.
To prevent Russia from completing construction of the pipeline, Washington imposed sanctions. The United States says the new pipeline plan will pose a major threat to the EU’s energy security.
Russia, for its part, has accused Washington of terminating the pipeline project only for US natural gas suppliers. USA They can export their products to the EU and sell them there at a higher price than what Russia offers.
“We believe that such aspirations are nothing more than manifestations of unfair competition and violate international law,” Peskov said.
In an interview with journalists this week, the United States Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell told reporters in the German newspaper Handelsblatt that the United States was preparing to impose more additional sanctions on the pipeline project.
