Russia responded to US sanctions against “Northern Flow-2”

Sanctions against the company and two vessels associated with the “Nord Stream-2” will not stop the launch of the gas pipeline. So the economist Andrei Kolganov responded to the message of the US intercourse against Transadria Ltd and the ship “Marlin” in its property. In a conversation with “ribbon.ru” he added that this gesture of Americans is solely symbolic.

The USA implies sanctions against two vessels and one company who are involved in the implementation of the North Stream-2 gas pipeline project. This was stated by the State Secretary of Anthony Blinken.

Kolganov reminded that the gas pipeline gasket is already fully completed, now there is only a process of certification and device debugging.

“Sanctions against companies that were engaged in the” Northern Flow-2 “laying, no longer change anything. These are purely symbolic gestures designed to demonstrate that American politicians do everything to prevent Russia’s exit to the European continent. Of course, the companies themselves are It will not be very pleasant – it will be limited to the circle of partners with whom they will be able to work. But the gas pipeline itself is no longer stopped, “the economist is sure.

On November 16, the Federal Network Agency Germany (BNetza) stopped certification of “Northern Flow-2”. The regulator wants to wait when the project operator, Swiss Nord Stream 2 AG, will create an independent subsidiary in Germany, which will be transferred to all assets and rights in the country.
