“It would seem that the head of the international affairs committee in the Bundestag, by our standards, should understand that such insinuations about“ geopolitical weapons ”and other things have nothing to do with reality,” Morozov said.
The deputy noted that initially the project was "started for the sake of helping German partners" and other European states in need of expanding Russian gas supplies for economic development.
“Therefore, Germany has the greatest interest in this project.
Here one should be guided not so much by considerations of friendship with the United States as by the interests of one's own state, ”he added.
Earlier, the head of the Bundestag Foreign Policy Committee, Norbert Röttgen, said that the EU, Russia and the United States need to agree on a moratorium on the construction of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline.
According to him, this is necessary for negotiations aimed at ensuring that the project does not become a "geopolitical weapon."
