Gazprom says it has built one third of Nord Stream 2

Gazprom says it has built one third of Nord Stream 2, the Russia-Germany Ukraine bypass gas pipeline. “At this point, in the Baltic Sea are laid 818 km of pipes – exactly one third of the total length of the pipeline,” Russia’s state gas company reports. On Tuesday in Brussels, Naftogaz managing director Yuriy Vitrenko predicted that Nord Stream 2 will be commissioned at the end of this year and the no Russian gas will flow through Ukraine next year.
