“We have been delaying the finalization of Nord Stream 2 for several years,” Przydach said in an interview with Polish Radio.

Otherwise, the project would have been completed long ago, he said.

He added that the longer the pipeline is inactive, the better for Central and Eastern Europe.

Earlier, the head of the executive committee of the Ukrainian National Council of Reforms, ex-President of Georgia Mikhail Saakashvili said that after the launch of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, Ukraine needs to start developing its own resources, including green hydrogen.
