"This is a momentous moment. Despite the attempts of a number of our "friends", who in every possible way prevented the beginning of the marine laying, the project is underway. I think that it should end in the current time. As we know, Denmark has not yet given the go-ahead for laying one offshore section on its territory. Gazprom has already applied to avoid it, in order not to be dependent on the position of the Danish authorities, "Ananskikh said.
According to the deputy, this is a project that is economically beneficial for EU countries.
"The rest of the countries gave their goods, there is no point in doubting the implementation of the" Nord Stream-2 ", it will be implemented in any case. If one of the partners comes out - this is a big minus just for them. This is a project for many decades, it will bring great profit to all shareholders. Many European countries support it, because the pipe gas is cheaper than any LNG, "Ananskikh concluded.
Earlier it became known that the vessel Solitaire had begun work on laying the Nord Stream-2 gas pipeline in the Gulf of Finland.
