Kiev relies on US sanctions in the situation with the "Nord Stream - 2"

“We believe that these sanctions can indeed help prevent the launch of Nord Stream, especially in light of the need to conclude a new contract for the supply of gas in Europe,” she said.

According to her, possible US sanctions may become an “additional tool” in negotiations on the transit of Russian gas.

Earlier in the US, it was noted that Congress could include sanctions against Nord Stream 2 in the defense budget for 2020.

In early July, Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky announced that US President Donald Trump would be able to resolve the Nord Stream 2 issue in Ukraine’s favor.
