Virtually guaranteeing that Russian gas will flow across Ukraine next year, construction of Nord Stream 2 now is to stretch into the spring, a representative of the Nord Stream 2 AG gas pipeline development company told Germany’s Deutsche Presse-Agentur on Saturday. An application to continue construction through the spring is to be considered today by Germany’s Federal Office for Maritime Navigation and Hydrography. The Danish Energy Agency delayed the Russia-Germany gas line project by only granting permission to pass through Danish waters on Oct. 30.
