The State Duma assessed the words of the Foreign Minister of Germany about "Nord Stream - 2"

“We need to agree with him (Maas. -

) that this gas pipeline is a great blessing for Europe.

Of course, everyone understands this, just some talk about it, while others do not talk about it, ”Ananskikh said.

The parliamentarian also recalled that the construction of the gas pipeline will have a positive impact on the European business sector. 

“The German Foreign Minister thinks about his people, about his entrepreneurs so that they can live better, which cannot be said about other officials of other states,” the deputy added.

Earlier, Maas said that "we need to realize what consequences the abandonment of Nord Stream 2 will have geostrategically and what this means for the possibility of Europe's influence on Russia."
