Italian Prime Minister spoke about sanctions against Nord Stream 2

Nord Stream 2 can become a policy negotiation tool between the EU and Russia.

If it becomes part of the EU sanctions apparatus, which, we hope, will not be needed, the impact on gas prices will be very noticeable, "RIA Novosti quotes Draghi's speech in the Italian Senate.

He warned that gas prices for Italy would rise, and that perhaps "this will have to be accepted."

Earlier, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky admitted the opportunity to use the situation around Nord Stream 2 to organize negotiations with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
