Gutenev emphasized that Germany’s position was stable throughout all stages of the sanction pressure on Nord Stream 2.
“The German leadership was committed to creating the conditions for their own economic growth, and the Russian guaranteed supply of cheap energy is very pragmatic. It is not only about the economy, but also about gaining economic and political sovereignty, ”the deputy said.
However, he noted, the United States does not heed the position of European partners.
Earlier in the German Foreign Ministry, commenting on reports of possible new US sanctions against Nord Stream 2, they said that Berlin rejected all extraterritorial restrictions.
On February 4, the Handelsblatt newspaper, citing diplomatic circles in Washington, said the United States intended to impose new sanctions on the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline project.
