“We could not help but talk about Nord Stream 2, I am very sorry that Ukraine and Germany have different positions regarding this project.

But I received a very clear position, very clear assurances that Germany is aware of all the risks for Ukraine associated with this project and wants to help Ukraine reduce them, "RIA Novosti quotes the Ukrainian minister.

According to Kuleba, Kiev is not sure that Moscow will guarantee the loading of the Ukrainian gas transportation system after the launch of Nord Stream 2.

In his opinion, Ukraine doubts "Russia's ability and desire to adhere to any agreements."

Earlier, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken called the completion of the construction of Nord Stream 2 a fait accompli.

In turn, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed surprise at the US decision to lift sanctions against the Nord Stream 2 operator Nord Stream 2 AG.
