“As for the Nord Stream 2, you know, I did not hear anything from my German colleague, which would indicate a change in the position of Germany in favor of this purely economic commercial project,” he told reporters.

As Lavrov pointed out, he made the same impression from an early breakfast, which he spent with German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas at a meeting of business leaders of the two countries.

On February 15, Lavrov and Meuse discussed aspects of the construction of the Nord Stream - 2, as well as the situation in Syria and Ukraine.

The head of the CDU Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer stated that the implementation of the gas pipeline project can no longer be prevented.

In January, expert Konstantin Voronov commented to NSN on reports that the United States again demanded that the EU and Germany stop the construction of the gas pipeline.
