“The question here is how the Germans, Europeans, all those who are consumers of our gas will behave. It is clear that these are not only sanctions against Russia, but sanctions against Europe. This is an economic war, an attempt not only to stop Nord Stream 2, but also to reorient Europe to American liquefied gas, ”Morozov explained.
The parliamentarian called this "unfair and unfair competition."
“Nevertheless, we know Germany’s position on this issue ... I think that Europe will take these companies under protection. It is clear that this will in some way impede the implementation of Nord Stream 2 and the Turkish Stream, but, nevertheless, it seems to me that there will be various solutions, both legal and economic, in order to circumvent these sanctions and complete the implementation of these two projects. I have no doubt about it, ”concluded the senator.
Earlier, the US Treasury announced the imposition of sanctions against Nord Stream 2.
The document states that parties that sold, leased or leased vessels involved in laying pipes at sea more than 100 feet in depth as part of the construction of Nord Stream 2 and Turkish Stream, “must ensure that these vessels immediately ceased construction activities. ”
