The US authorities, together with Germany and the European Union, are considering a possible suspension of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline in the event of “Russian aggression against Ukraine,” said US Undersecretary of State Victoria Nuland at a press briefing.
According to her, the German authorities “have already taken measures” to delay the launch of the gas pipeline.
Nuland also added that the United States and its allies “have no disagreements” on the issue of sanctions against the Russian Federation in the event of an alleged invasion of Ukraine. “As we have done in the past, the United States can take a number of measures, and Europe and other allies can take parallel steps, which will not be exactly the same, but will also be painful for Russia, since we are at varying degrees of risk,” the diplomat explained. , adding that the US “would not like to use these measures.”
We will remind, earlier the correspondent of Politico reported that Nuland is dissuading American senators from adopting sanctions against the Russian export gas pipeline “Nord Stream-2”.
