“Germany from the very beginning stated that the Nord Stream 2 project is important for her and has never changed its position on this matter. It is great that the Russian side has such a reliable partner. This project is really very beneficial for Berlin. Russia has an extensive history of gas supplies to Germany, since the times of the USSR there have never been any disruptions, ”the deputy said.

Ananskikh also noted that Nord Stream 2 is an international consortium and not only the Russian side is investing in it.
