Price recalled that in February the United States imposed sanctions against the pipe-laying vessel Fortuna and the ship owner KBT-RUS.

“Of course, this is not the end of the story.

Every 90 days, we must provide the Congress with news on our analysis and decisions about which activities on Nord Stream fall under the sanctions, "RIA Novosti quotes a spokesman for the State Department.

According to him, if the State Department determines that "some organization is engaged in activities subject to sanctions," they will report this in the next report to Congress.

“I believe the next report will be in May,” he said.

In February, the United States added the pipe-laying vessel Fortuna and its owner KBT-Rus to the sanctions list under the US law on the Protection of European Energy Security.
