“I believe it is true that other voices will be heard, and that this is possible for the Ukrainian side.

But there should be no misunderstandings: Ukraine has no veto right, and this is important, ”RIA Novosti quotes the words of the German diplomat.

He explained this by the fact that the analysis and assessment in the certification process is entrusted to an independent German regulator, and other parties are not involved.

The Federal Republic of Germany had previously confirmed that the Ukrainian Naftogaz and the Ukrainian GTS Operator were admitted to the certification process for the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.

Enterprises will have procedural rights.

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that the second string of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline will be filled with gas in the second half of December.
