“Strategically, Nord Stream 2 will strengthen Europe's energy security for decades to come.
That is why the European capitals interested in the project are firmly in favor of completing the construction of the gas pipeline, ”Lavrov said in an interview with Magyar Nemzet.
At the same time, he stressed that claims that Nord Stream 2 will increase Europe's dependence on gas supplies from Russia are unfounded.
On August 22, it became known that the laying of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline was completed in the exclusive economic zone of Denmark.
