The Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline continues to face rough pressure from the US, but the Kremlin is focused on finalizing the project. So to the request to comment on the information about the impending American sanctions against the barge “Fortune”, which is to begin work, the press secretary of the country’s president Dmitry Peskov reacted, reports TASS.
According to him, Moscow will carefully study the new restrictive measures in order to understand how to resist them. Peskov expressed regret that Washington does not give up hope to stop construction.
At the end of December, the Danish authorities named Fortuna the vessel that will resume work on the gas pipeline. The permit has been valid for her since January 15, but the barge has not yet begun work. On the eve of the sanctions against her reported the German edition of Handelsblatt. Nord Stream 2 AG cannot say when construction will start.
