Ukraine’s gas transportation system is cheaper and more reliable than Nord Stream 2, Prime Minister Groysman told German Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier when they met Thursday in Berlin. Earlier in the day, at the opening of a Germany-Ukraine business forum, Chancellor Angela Merkel said: “Despite the different opinions about the North Stream 2, we fully support the status of Ukraine as a transit country of gas.” She said Germany will be able to control the volume of gas supplied by Nord Stream 2.
