Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said that Washington introduces sanctions against two ships and one company who participate in the implementation of the gas pipeline project, pointing to Transadria and Marlin. He did not specify the name of the second ship, but later it became known that Washington decided not to apply restrictions against the German ship associated with the gas pipeline.

The favorite language of Washington,” said the sands and stressed that restrictive measures are the wrong step against the background of the US attempts to develop a dialogue with Russia.
