According to him, "the sanctions on the Nord Stream are a continuation of this sanctions language, which Washington stubbornly refuses to give up."
“Washington's favorite language.
Of course, this is something that we have an extremely negative attitude to, we have talked about this more than once.
But again, we consider this illegal, wrong, especially against the background of such intense attempts to develop the previously lost dialogue, ”the press secretary said.
Earlier, Blinken said that the United States administration would impose sanctions on two ships and one Russian-related company that are taking part in the implementation of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline.
Russian Ambassador to Washington Anatoly Antonov said that the new US sanctions against Nord Stream 2 are an example of unfair competition.
