The Axios portal informs about this with reference to two sources.
Earlier it was reported that the Federal Office for Shipping and Hydrography of Germany (BSH) authorized the immediate continuation of the construction of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline in the German exclusive economic zone.
Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak commented on the situation with Nord Stream 2.
He noted that "the project is being implemented not only by the Russian side, but also by a consortium of the largest European companies that are interested in bringing Nord Stream 2 to completion."
In April, Sergei Zheleznyak, a member of the State Duma's international affairs committee, also commented on the situation around Nord Stream 2, including the US position on the gas pipeline. In an interview with FAN, he expressed the opinion that the United States has a chance not to drive bilateral relations into an impasse if Washington is willing to engage in constructive meaningful dialogue.
