NordStream2compleated

 Despite the fact that Russia has announced the completion of the construction of Nord Stream-2, it can still be stopped by sanctions. This was the admission of Oksana Markarova, the Ambassador of Ukraine to the United States in an interview with European Truth. “We believe that Nord Stream-2 is a weapon. Our point of view has not changed. Even if it is 100% completed, there are still other issues – certification issues, “she said.

a bipartisan group of Washington lawmakers told Politico that they are considering blocking must-pass appropriations legislation this fall if the Biden administration continues to withhold sanctions on the project. Last year, Ukraine earned $2.1 billion in transit fees for moving Gazprom gas from Russia to the EU.
