MOSCOW, March 14 Nord Stream has a future if the instinct of national interest is revived among Western partners, said Russian President Vladimir Putin.
«In world practice, there is no example of repairing such systems after such incidents, but theoretically everything is possible. It will just take time, certain money, some new technologies,» Putin said on the air of the Rossiya 24 TV channel. When asked by journalist Pavel Zarubin whether this project has a future, the president answered in the affirmative.
«Yes, of course. I think there is. If our European partners are interested, if they still have this inkt of national interest, then, of course, it is. But you know, sometimes it seems to me that whatever they are told, they do everything,» Putin added.
