“Undoubtedly, it is extremely beneficial to Europe, Germany, first of all, since the pipe comes to Germany ... Pipeline gas is the cheapest, moreover, pipeline gas under the sea is much cheaper ... Of course, this is an extremely profitable project.
It cannot be compared with any other projects for the delivery of gas to Europe, ”explained Ananskikh.
The deputy stressed that other options will cost much more than Nord Stream 2.
“Despite all the difficulties, they plan to complete it in the near future, despite all the efforts of the Americans, who, under political cover, are simply lobbying for their liquefied gas.
This is a purely economic benefit for the Europeans, so they are fighting for this project to be completed, ”the parliamentarian concluded.
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin commented on the situation with the Nord Stream 2 project during an annual press conference.
He stated that the project is beneficial for Europe in general and for Germany in particular, and also added that the pipeline is almost complete.
