What the Kremlin said about Lynch's desire to buy Nord Stream 2
Lynch's desire to acquire Nord Stream 2 was reported last week by the American publication The Wall Street Journal.
I have not heard that the Russian side, represented by Gazprom, would like to sell it, Peskov commented.
He also expressed bewilderment at Germany's decision not to use Nord Stream 2.
This is a whole pipeline that can be launched immediately, noted the press secretary of the head of the Russian state.
For reference
Nord Stream 2 is a main gas pipeline from Russia to Germany across the Baltic Sea, 1,234 km long (2,468 km along two lines), which is inoperative after being sabotaged.
