Tsekov noted that the position of Poland and Ukraine in relation to Nord Stream 2 is understandable, since they announced it more than once, but in different forms.
According to the senator, these countries oppose cooperation between Russia and Europe, and also suffer from "an extreme form of hatred of Russia."
“They are not the ones who play a decisive role in the decisions that Europe makes.
The decisive word belongs to Germany and a number of other influential European countries.
Gas is badly needed in Europe.
Nord Stream 2 is, first of all, an economic, commercial project, ”the parliamentarian concluded.
Earlier, the foreign ministers of Poland and Ukraine wrote an appeal to the American president with a request to "use all means" in order to prevent the completion of the Nord Stream 2 project.
They noted that Russia "has used one of the most powerful weapons - its neighbors' dependence on energy supplies, especially natural gas."
