According to Polskoe Radio, he called the pipeline project geopolitical.

“Unfortunately, the EU lacked the necessary response at the community level.

Despite the obvious political and geopolitical threats, this project is being implemented.

Poland from the very beginning opposed Nord Stream 2, enjoying the support of the United States for many months.

We are surprised by this unsuccessful decision for the region by Washington, which agreed to complete the construction of this pipeline, ”said Mueller.

The United States and Germany previously reached an agreement on the pipeline project. They say that "if Russia tries to use energy as a weapon," then Germany, in turn, "will insist on effective measures at the European level, including sanctions" to limit the possibilities of Russian exports to Europe.
