Racing to complete Nord Stream 2 before US sanctions can be adopted, Russia has put 23 additional ships on the gas pipeline project, reports RBC-Ukraine, citing Russian media. Bills moving through the US Congress would impose sanctions on European companies working on the Russia-Germany project. Of the ships, 2 are from Russia – the rest are from five EU countries, including 12 registered in the Netherlands. Last week, the pipeline operating company said the 1,220 km line was 59% completed and vowed to meet Gazprom’s Dec. 31 deadline.
