Biden called imposing new sanctions against Nord Stream 2 unproductive Imposing

Construction of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline is "nearly complete" and imposing new sanctions on the project would be "unproductive" for US relations with Europe. This, according to BLOOMBERG, said US President Joe Biden.

Last week, the United States included two Russian companies and one institution associated with the construction of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline on the sanctions list. We are talking about "Mortransservice", Federal State Budgetary Institution "Marine Rescue Service" and the Samara Heat and Power Property Fund. In addition, 13 vessels fell under the sanctions , including the Akademik Chersky pipelayer and the Baltic Researcher supply vessel.

At the same time, the US presidential administration, as promised, did not begin to impose sanctions on the company - the operator of the Nord Stream 2 AG pipeline construction and its executive DIRECTOR Matthias Warnig. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken has previously said that it is in the US national interest to lift restrictions against them. Press Secretary of the President of RUSSIA Dmitry Peskov called this statement a positive signal and added that work on the construction of the gas pipeline is being carried out regardless of the sanctions.

The fact that it will be difficult for the United States to prevent the completion of Nord Stream 2 was also previously stated by White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki. “How could we stop a project that was 95% built in another country?” she noted.
