“Germany has its own energy interests.
It is important that our country, as far as possible, does not become dependent on a small number of energy suppliers.
Therefore, the completion of the Nord Stream 2 project is necessary.

At the same time, the sanctions policy always hurts both sides, ”she said.
Earlier, the head of the Bundestag Committee on Economics and Energy, Klaus Ernst, urged not to discuss with the United States the "mechanism for stopping" the construction of the gas pipeline.
Also, the Minister of Energy and Economy of the Federal Republic of Germany Peter Altmeier said that he considers it wrong to constantly raise new questions about Nord Stream 2.
As noted by the head of the German Foreign Ministry Heiko Maas, the main priority of the FRG government at present is to create conditions for the completion of the pipeline.
