"If Russia has a common economic process with some European countries, then for us Nord Stream 2 is a weapon against Ukraine ... It is definitely a political weapon, and so far Russia is outplaying everyone in the direction of Nord Stream 2," Zelenskiy said in an interview with AFP, Reuters and Associated Press.
Earlier, the head of the board of NJSC Naftogaz of Ukraine, Yuriy Vitrenko, said that the completion of the construction of the Russian gas pipeline Nord Stream 2 allegedly could lead to the outbreak of a full-scale war.
Deputy Foreign Minister of Ukraine Yevgeniy Yenin, in a telephone conversation with US Secretary of State Derek Scholl, urged to prevent the completion of the project for the construction of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.
