The new decree of the American president Joe Bayiden on the possibility of introducing sanctions against Russian energy projects will not stop the construction of “Northern Flow-2”, the member of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs Sergey Zheleznyak, writes RIA Novosti.
The deputy spoke about the inability of the United States to disrupt the construction of the pipeline. According to Zheleznyak, Washington demonstrates readiness to continue the sanction policy towards Russia. After meeting with the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, Biden made a certain “reerant” towards Congress, considers the deputy, but a number of congressmen due to the refusal of sanctions against the Russian-European gas project began to look at him.
According to Russian policies, the United States adheres to the United States in the issue of “Northern Flow-2” traditions: they use blackmail and economic pressure. He reminded that Washington’s attention to the project is not connected with the issue of energy security of Europe. “This is a manifestation of the US struggle for an uncomfortable influence on the European Energy Market, – answered the limitations of Zheleznyak. – Stop” Northern Stream-2 “by this US decree”.
On Friday, August 20, the United States introduced sanctions against companies and vessels due to the “Northern Flow-2”. We are talking about companies “Nobiliti” and “Constant”, the courts “Ivan Sidorenko” and “Ostap Sheremet”. Joe Biden issued a decree, allowing to introduce restrictions on “certain energy projects” of Russia, in particular, this concerns the North Stream-2 gas pipeline.
