How Peskov commented on Trump's statement about Nord Stream 2
The Kremlin representative recalled that the gas pipeline would eventually be completed.
Moreover, the Nord Stream 2 pipeline has survived, and it is ready to be launched at any moment, as the president said, the press secretary of the head of the Russian state noted.
Construction of Nord Stream 2 began in 2018. In 2019, the Trump administration imposed sanctions on construction participants, and the work had to be completed with the help of Russian courts.
Gas supply never began due to a delay in certification on the German side. After Russia recognized the sovereignty of the DPR and LPR in February 2022, German Prime Minister Olaf Scholz announced the suspension of certification.
