“Considering that the gas pipeline has been built, given that it is primarily a relationship between Russia and Germany, Russia and the EU, then the MPs are correctly voicing their position,” the senator said.

According to him, the decision on sanctions is US interference in the internal affairs of Russia and Germany.

“This is not partnership or friendship.

Germany does not interfere in the affairs of the United States and does not impose sanctions for the construction of anything on the territory of the United States or against the United States, "Tsekov said.

Earlier, Omid Noripur, a member of the Union 90 / Greens faction in the Bundestag, told Reuters that new US sanctions against the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline were unacceptable.

He noted that the Greens have always fought against the gas pipeline project, but called the sanctions a wrong decision.
