“The project will certainly be completed.

This is not a political project, as some countries try to present it, but a commercial project.

And it is beneficial to both the Russian side and our Western partners.

Firstly, to the consortium of the largest companies in Europe that are building this gas pipeline and, secondly, to the European countries themselves.

Because pipeline gas is much cheaper than LNG, ”said the MP.

In his opinion, only the United States can deny the profitability of Nord Stream 2.

“The project is beneficial for the whole of Europe.

Only America can disagree with this, but in this situation, I think, European countries and politicians understand that they need to think about their citizens and their business.

Therefore, I have no doubt that the project will be completed, ”concluded Ananskikh.

Earlier, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Pankin said that attempts to interfere with the commissioning of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline are illegal and will not affect the implementation of the project.

According to him, the politicization of this issue is dangerous and negatively affects the development of economic cooperation.
