Gazprom closed the Russia-Germany Nord Stream gas pipeline Tuesday for two weeks of “annual maintenance,” rerouting gas through Ukraine

Gazprom closed the Russia-Germany Nord Stream gas pipeline Tuesday for two weeks of “annual maintenance,” rerouting gas through Ukraine. Gazprom has said that after the second Nord Stream pipeline opens, possibly early next year, it no longer will need Ukraine as a backup route. Gazprom also announced Tuesday that two-thirds of Nord Stream 2 has been built. Ukraine’s Naftogaz issued a statement noting that Nord Stream 1 was closed several times last year. It asserted: “A rare form of aggressive rust has started to form in Gazprom gas pipelines.”
