Putin: a week is needed to launch the remaining Nord Stream line. “Unscrew the valve, say: “We want to receive.” Tomorrow they will start receiving.
We need a week, but they don’t want to,” he noted. Putin expressed bewilderment why Germany remains silent, knowing full well that the explosion at Nord Stream was carried out by their NATO partners and that this dealt a blow to the German economy. As Putin stated, today's German authorities are not guided by national interests.
