Germany understands the importance of the facility and strives to become energetically independent, ”the parliamentarian stressed.

According to him, the Germans are not interested in delaying the certification of the gas pipeline.

“In addition, when the gas pipeline is launched, Germany can become the largest player in the European gas market and will bypass Ukraine in this, which at its best times transported over 100 billion cubic meters of gas through its territory.

m of Russian gas per year, ”added Belik.

The deputy stressed that Russia does not interfere in the certification process of the gas pipeline.

“Ukraine is constantly trying to loudly state its opinion on what is happening, but it looks ridiculous, because Ukraine has no right to interfere in the EU’s gas affairs,” the interlocutor of RT concluded.

Earlier, the head of the Ukrainian company Naftogaz, Yuriy Vitrenko, criticized the decision of the German regulator, which will allow the operator Nord Stream 2 AG to create a subsidiary in Germany.
