According to RIA Novosti, referring to the publication, we are talking about a pipe-laying vessel "Academician Chersky", capable of building a gas pipeline.

It is noted that the ship belonging to Gazprom was transferred to the ownership of the STIF fund operating in Russia. This step allows the state corporation to complete the gas pipeline to the end, without falling under the influence of American restrictions.

According to the publication, the US authorities had no ways to influence the situation with the construction of the gas pipeline.

Earlier, a member of the British parliament, Daniel Kavchinsky, said that Germany had “betrayed Europe” by cooperating with Russia and supporting the construction of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline.
