The Nord Stream 2 pipeline has reached Sweden’s economic zone

The Nord Stream 2 pipeline has reached Sweden’s economic zone, Sveriges Radio reports. With pipe laid for one third of the 1,200 km Russia-to-Germany gas line, pipes now are stocked in Karlshamn, a Swedish port 250 km across the Baltic from the pipeline terminus, Greifswald, eastern Germany. Since Denmark has not approved Nord Stream 2, Gazprom may bypass waters near Denmark’s Bornholm Island. The US Congress and the European Parliament recently passed resolutions demanding a stop to the project, saying the pipeline will strip Ukraine of crucial geostrategic leverage with Russia. Barring a stop work order, the pipeline is to be completed one year from now.
