Commissioning and commissioning of Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline equipment at an onshore section in Russia. File photoUN, Jan 22 Cutting off gas supplies to Europe in response to hypothetical anti-Russian sanctions would not be beneficial for Moscow, US Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield said. The Permanent Mission of the United States distributed the text of her interview with the Italian television and radio company RAI. The host asked if Washington had a plan in case Russia, in response to restrictive measures against it, suspends the supply of blue fuel to Europe. According to the Permanent Representative, the plan of the American side is to «cooperate closely with the allies» to support them in the event of any action against the European partners, «including the possibility of Russian actions regarding the pipeline.» But I believe that this would equally harm Russia, so it would not be in in their interests to cut off Europeans' access to the gas pipeline,» Thomas-Greenfield concluded.
