«Nord Stream 2». File photoMOSCOW, Jan 20Political scientist Dmitry Korneichuk said on the air of the Nash TV channel that the presidents of Russia and the United States, Vladimir Putin and Joe Biden, allegedly came to secret agreements on the launch of Nord Stream 2. According to the specialist, this is the reason for the wave of publications and statements in the West about «the impending Russian aggression» against Ukraine. «Given that, according to the agreements, it is necessary to launch the Nord Stream 2, and this will be a big «spite» (betrayal. — Approx. ed.) for Biden, they set up this circus for us from the series «Biden is saving Ukraine from Putin's attack, and you can close your eyes to the fact that Biden does not interfere with the launch of Nord Stream,» Korneichuk said. The political scientist stressed that the Ukrainian authorities are happy with this scenario, and they are «playing along» with the Russian-American agreements.< img src="/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/3696f1e75804c234fe3fa663e0096db0.jpg" />Media: US may impose sanctions against Germany because of Nord Stream 2 project. The Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline with a capacity of 55 billion cubic meters per year will be stretched along the bottom of the Baltic Sea to Germany. The procedure for its certification was temporarily suspended, since the regulator considered it necessary to create an enterprise in Germany — a «daughter» of Nord Sream 2 AG, which, according to European law, must submit a new application for certification. The process was suspended under the influence of the United States, which wants to use Nord Stream — 2″ as a lever of pressure on Russia in the aggravated situation around Ukraine. Moscow, in turn, has repeatedly urged not to politicize the situation around the gas pipeline and emphasized that this is an exclusively commercial project, beneficial not only to Moscow, but also to the European Union. Recently, the Kiev authorities and the West have been constantly accusing Russia of allegedly preparing an invasion of Ukraine and concentrated troops on the border with it. As Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov pointed out, the armed forces are moving within the territory of the state — this does not threaten anyone and should not worry anyone. Moscow emphasized that statements about «Russian aggression» are being used as a pretext for building up NATO contingents in the border regions. make money on Nord Stream 2
