“The energy market is the most striking illustration of this: the culminating sanctions pressure, which has now resulted in subversive activities - in what happened to the European gas transportation system - Nord Stream,” RIA Novosti quotes him.
The incident on two Russian export gas pipelines to Europe, Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2, occurred on September 26.
Press Secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov said that Russian experts immediately, before the results of the investigation of the West, stated that the emergency was caused by sabotage.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said that sabotage at the Nord Streams is destroying the pan-European energy network.
Vladislav Belov, head of the Center for German Studies at the Institute of Europe of the Russian Academy of Sciences, commented on the situation around Nord Stream 2 in an interview with Economics Today.
He noted that there are chances for a compromise on Nord Stream 2, but they are decreasing every day.
