The Federation Council called Nord Stream 2 a "purely economic" project

"This stubbornness indicates that they (the Americans -

), in this hatred of Russia, cannot objectively evaluate certain projects that do not imply politics by themselves," Tsekov stressed.

The senator added that this project is in the interests of both the West and Russia.

“The West needs gas, it needs a reliable supplier, this is how it should be perceived,” the parliamentarian added.

At the same time, he noted that the United States is constantly transferring this project into the political plane, the plane of confrontation with Russia. 

“Amazing formulations and assessments.

In fact, this project is purely economic in nature.

Not only we are talking about this, Germany and many in Europe are talking about this.

Americans do not hear it, ”the parliamentarian concluded.

Earlier, the White House said that Washington still considers Nord Stream 2 a geopolitical project of Russia.
