According to her, this decision is of a regulatory nature and “explained by the objectives of the BNA”.

“This is not a political act,” TASS quoted her as saying.

Earlier, the press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov said that the Kremlin does not see any political motives in the decision of the German regulator to suspend the certification of the Nord Stream 2 operator, Nord Stream 2 AG.

On November 16, it became known that the German regulator suspended the certification of Nord Stream 2 AG as an independent operator of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.
