Earlier, US Senator Chris Murphy said that the US Senate intends to soon pass a bill aimed at combating Russia's energy influence in Europe.
The Eastern Committee of the German Economy stated that the sanctions against Nord Stream 2 are against the sovereignty of the EU and call into question the achievement of agreements following the summit of the Norman Four on Ukraine.
