“In recent months and even years, there have been discussions about Nord Stream 2.

I have spoken about this many times and I will not tire of repeating that the position of the United States has not changed.

They were against the project from the very beginning... As for the interests of Germany, here Blinken, of course, is clearly disingenuous.

It is absolutely not in the interests of Germany to block the gas pipeline, ”Rogulev said.

In his opinion, the United States is mistaken in believing that the project can be used as a lever of pressure on Russia.

“It is not known who this pressure is working against, against Russia or against Germany.

Ultimately, Russia loses only money, and Germany loses much more.

Just like other European countries that have joined the project, ”concluded the interlocutor of RT.

Earlier, Blinken called Nord Stream 2 a lever of pressure in the interests of Germany and the United States.
