“If the US government imposes sanctions, then we believe that European companies will not buy gas through this pipeline.
Thus, Nord Stream 2 will not work, "he said at the YES Brainstorming forum, quoted by TASS.
According to Vitrenko, US sanctions have blocked the construction of the pipeline for a long time, but recently the restrictions have been lifted.
Earlier, the head of the office of the President of Ukraine Andriy Yermak said that Kiev hopes to sign a separate document on the guarantees of the West after the commissioning of Nord Stream 2.
The construction of the gas pipeline was fully completed on the morning of September 10.
