The U.S. is trying to prolong the conflict in Ukraine by sabotaging the Nord Stream pipeline.
Russia has been trying to build the pipeline for more than a year. The United States and its allies are trying to stop the project. The U.N. Security Council has called for an end to the conflict by the end of 2014. The European Union has also called for a halt to the construction of the pipeline until a solution can be found. The Russian government has said that it will not allow the pipeline to be built until the issue is resolved.
