Battle for the Last Kilometers of Nord Stream 2

The End of the Tense Confrontation Is Approaching

 

 

The construction of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, which has always been considered by unbiased analysts to be V. Putin’s geopolitical weapon against Europe and, is nearing completion. Supporters and opponents of Nord Stream 2 are trying to defend their vision of this project and their interests in relation to it. Ukraine’s interests and national security are not considered decisive in the dispute between the world’s geopolitical giants. The main controversy is between Russian gas revenues, US economic interests in Europe and the risks associated with the Kremlin’s unpredictable actions. But let’s ask again: what can stop its construction?

From the very beginning of its construction, Nord Stream 2 was not a “purely economic project”, as the German federal government has always emphasized, but a huge geopolitical task. And that is why all the major states involved in the project, as well as other smaller players and opponents, are trying to defend their interests. Even now, when the last few kilometers are being laid. We can see a great activity of both, its opponents in the United States, Eastern Europe or Germany, and of Russian and German gas pipeline operators. The end of the tense confrontation is approaching, so, the question arises: will Nord Stream 2 enter the European gas supply network, as previously planned?
