They noted that Naftogaz was able to provide the US side with "important information on Russia's ability to complete Nord Stream 2."
“The urgent adoption of the bill“ On the refinement of the Law “On the Protection of European Energy Security” can finally halt the implementation of the Nord Stream - 2 project, which is dangerous for Europe, ”the company said.
Earlier, a bill on sanctions against the Nord Stream 2 project was introduced to the US Senate.
According to one of its authors, Senator John Barasso, the project aims to clarify and expand existing sanctions.
