Antonov commented on the new US sanctions against Nord Stream 2

The new US sanctions against Russia show that Washington does not have the will to implement what the presidents of the two countries, Vladimir Putin and Joe Biden , agreed on . This was stated to journalists by the Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov. The answers are published on the embassy's Facebook page.

“The anti-Russian attacks demonstrate Washington’s lack of will to implement the important understandings that were reached between the presidents of the two countries at the June summit in Geneva,” he said.

According to Antonov, the U.S. is trying to gain a competitive advantage with its fuel and technology suppliers through its sanctions. That is why Washington impedes energy cooperation between Russia and Europe. “The format for using the gas pipeline should be determined in Europe, primarily in Germany, and not in the United States,” the ambassador added.
