Peskov noted the interest in the implementation of the "Nord Stream - 2" not only Russia

So he answered the question of whether the Kremlin sees a threat to the implementation of the project.

“Both the Russian and German sides are interested in this project.

In general, this project ... is of great interest to all European consumers, ”he said during a conversation with reporters.

The Prime Minister of Latvia, Krisjanis Karins, earlier, on the eve of the summit of the heads of the EU countries, proposed to discuss possible sanctions against Nord Stream 2 in the event of an escalation near the borders of Ukraine.

His Italian counterpart, Mario Draghi, believes that the restrictive measures introduced against the pipeline could lead to higher fuel prices.
