Nord Stream 2 means diversifying routes, reducing the cost of the transit leg, and using a network that meets the most modern environmental requirements.
Therefore, this is our common contribution to the energy security of Europe, ”the senator emphasized.
According to him, suspicions that the project is allegedly directed against Ukraine, as well as intimidation of European consumers that Russia will use this pipeline as a "weapon", in the parliamentarian's opinion, this is "all from the crafty and a consequence of unfair competition."
“The Americans, with the help of their loyal European partners, tried to provide for themselves preferential conditions for competition in the European gas market.
Thank God, this did not happen, this market remains competitive, competition will continue in the future, and all parameters of cooperation will be determined solely by economic factors without a mixture of politics, "added the interlocutor of RT.
He noted that this is what Russia has always talked about.
“This is something that all the rest and our partners, who, fortunately, are participating in this project in large numbers, and our ill-wishers, who sooner or later will have to admit their obvious wrongness in the process of discussing the project, have to be convinced of this.
And I sincerely congratulate those who implemented this project on the completion and success, ”concluded Kosachev.
Earlier, Gazprom reported that the construction of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline has been fully completed.
