This is reported by "Ukrainian News" with reference to the statement of Vitrenko on Facebook.

“We call on the US government to impose sanctions under US law on the Nord Stream 2 operator that Gazprom is claiming to be set up,” he said.

According to the head of the Ukrainian company, the corresponding restrictive measures should be in effect until Russia "stops using gas as a weapon" and will act "according to European rules."

Earlier, the German regulator suspended the certification of Nord Stream 2 AG as an independent operator of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.

Later it became known that Nord Stream 2 AG, the operator of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, decided to establish a subsidiary in Germany in order to meet the country's requirements for certification of the German part of the pipeline.

Against the background of Germany's decision, gas prices soared in Europe.
