Attempts by the United States to sabotage “Northern Stream-2” violate international law. So to the statement of the deputy secretary of the United States Victoria Nulander about the desire to slow down the launch of the gas pipeline responded to the deputy of the Bundestag from the party “Alternative for Germany” Stefan Kotra in a conversation with “Tape.ru.”
He stressed that the political pressure of the United States and the sanction against the gas pipeline is interference in the internal affairs of European states. “They [the United States] use gas supplies from Russia as political weapons to achieve their own political goals,” said German politician.
According to Kotra, the fact that the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany neglects the interests of gas consumers, testifies “as the absence of their competence and their arrogance.” “Only the United States will benefit from the project stop,” he stressed. At the same time, the politician expressed the hope that the gas pipeline would be able to run in 2022.
Earlier, Nuland said that the United States is working with Germany and EU over the slowdown in the commissioning of the North Stream-2 gas pipeline. The Government of Germany “made significant steps” to postpone the launch of the project, she stressed.
