“We will put all the options on the agenda and make a decision at the appropriate time,” the minister said on the air of the ZDF TV channel.
According to him, Russia can take part in the investigation of the incident with Navalny and thereby "contribute" to the fact that the decision to suspend the construction of Nord Stream 2 is not taken.
“We cannot say that since the sanctions do not work, then there is no need to introduce any.
Sometimes it is necessary to take measures, thereby saying that we do not want to live in a world without rules, ”the minister added.
Earlier, the head of the Bundestag Committee on Economics and Energy Klaus Ernst called the calls to stop the project a mistake.
On September 6, Maas announced the importance of continuing the implementation of Nord Stream 2.
The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs urged not to issue ultimatums on the implementation of the project.
