Russian President Vladimir Putin said that he does not understand the reason for Germany’s refusal to participate in Nord Stream 2.
As the Russian leader indicated, Berlin could conclude agreements with Moscow on the use of the gas pipeline line that survived the explosion.
Putin pointed out: “I don’t understand why Germany is refusing this opportunity,” as reported by the official Rutube channel of the Eastern Economic Forum – 2024.
As the head of state emphasized, this method of obtaining energy resources is very simple.
Russia's reaction
In addition, the Russian President noted that the Russian side is ready for the relevant agreements.
Berlin suspended cooperation with Moscow on the above issue after Russia recognized the independence of the DPR and LPR in 2022.
As the German side emphasized, collaboration with the Russian Federation within the framework of the use of Nord Stream 2 has been suspended for an indefinite period.
In the summer of 2022, Gazprom resorted to reducing supplies via Nord Stream. The reason is problems with the return of technical equipment from Canada.
