the company stressed that attempts to stop the project, demonstrate the disregard for the interests of European consumers. If the pipeline is built, they will be forced to pay for the gas for billions more. 2 Nord Stream AG also reminded of the right of States to determine their own energy future.
the Construction of “Nord stream-2” will continue despite the sanctions threat from the United States.
