US announces agreement with Germany on Nord Stream 2

US State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland at the hearing confirmed the information previously published by Reuters and Bloomberg on the conclusion of an agreement between Washington and Berlin on Nord Stream 2. There is no official text yet, but Nuland spoke in general terms about the agreements.

In exchange for permission to complete the gas pipeline, Germany guarantees that it will make efforts to extend the transit agreement between Russia and Ukraine for another ten years. Thus, even after the launch of Nord Stream 2, Russia should not refuse to pump gas through Ukraine, and transit will remain a source of replenishment for the Ukrainian budget. If Moscow tries to put pressure on other countries with the help of energy resources, then Germany will begin to impose sanctions . And the United States and Germany will jointly finance the diversification of Ukrainian energy.
