According to the deputy, the completion of the construction can be regarded as "the most important milestone."
He noted that such a result was achieved not only thanks to the Gazprom company, but also thanks to the relationship between Russia and Western Europe, the dedication and will of the country's leadership.
The parliamentarian stressed that, on the one hand, the energy independence of the European Union will be ensured, on the other hand, substantial revenues will come to the Russian budget, which will allow "to solve the most important not only social problems, but also the tasks of scientific and technological development of the country."
"Therefore, I believe that this is a victory of common sense over those forces that tried to restrain the economic development of Russia with prohibited methods of competition," the interlocutor of RT concluded.
Earlier, Gazprom reported that the construction of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline has been fully completed.
