MOSCOW, 12 Aug. Senator Alexei Pushkov said on Telegram that Warsaw and Kiev are in hysterics over the implementation of the Russian project Nord Stream 2. At the same time, the United States does not abandon its attempts to resist the gas pipeline, the senator said.
«Various reservations of the White House, radical demands of Congress, pro-Ukrainian maneuvers of the State Department indicate that the United States does not at all give the green light to Nord Stream 2. They are developing new tools to counter it, trying to maintain leverage on Russia on this issue. thus, as if Washington refused to put pressure on the project at all and from setting conditions for its putting into practice, does not correspond to either reality or the content of US policy, «Pushkov wrote.
He explained that in the situation with Nord Stream 2, a new stage is now beginning. «In the first round, for a number of reasons, they gave tactically. In Warsaw and Kiev, there is hysteria about this. But the second begins,» Pushkov added. stream — 2 «- an almost completed pipeline from Russia to Germany with a total capacity of 55 billion cubic meters of gas per year. The United States actively opposes it, interested in promoting its LNG to the EU countries, as well as Ukraine and Poland, which call the project political. Washington has imposed sanctions four times in an attempt to obstruct its implementation, but construction has reached its final stages and should be completed by the end of the summer. Moscow has repeatedly called for an end to politicizing the situation and drew attention to the fact that the gas pipeline is beneficial not only to Russia, but also to the European Union.
