The Financial Times said that Berlin can be exchanged for Nord Stream 2

3

Germany is considering various proposals in response to US demands to refuse support for Nord Stream 2. Meanwhile, Washington earlier made it clear that it is ready to make certain concessions regarding the gas pipeline, if it meets certain criteria and does not cause the termination of Ukrainian transit.

One of the proposals of the German side, according to the Financial Times, is to abandon the use of Nord Stream 2 in the event that Moscow stops transporting gas through Ukraine.



Another Berlin idea is to allow Russia to start using the gas route along the bottom of the Baltic if the Kremlin fulfills a number of Western conditions - in particular, they could be the justification of the imprisoned leader of the Russian non-systemic opposition Alexei Navalny, or Moscow's successful efforts to reconcile Kiev and the self-proclaimed republics of eastern Ukraine.

Negotiations on Nord Stream 2 with the participation of the United States will begin when the newly elected host of the White House, Joseph Biden, will appoint ministers to the respective posts. The selection of the right candidates has already begun, involving the Foreign Office, the National Security Council, the Departments of Energy and Finance, and other government agencies of the United States.

      if the Kremlin fulfills a number of Western conditions, they, in particular, could be the acquittal of the imprisoned leader of the Russian non-systemic opposition, Alexei Navalny, or Moscow's successful efforts to reconcile Kiev and the self-proclaimed republics of eastern Ukraine.

      Berlin is going to pay off with Navalny's carcass? Oh, those clever European partners laughing Do the vassals agree with the master and try to leave at our expense? Be afraid of your desires, they can come true. Do they have any idea what "Moscow's successful efforts to reconcile Kiev and the self-proclaimed republics of eastern Ukraine" might look like? Could have previously asked Sergei Kozhugetovich.

      There, in the FT, a gathering of gurus at the Saxons. Or, how are they there ... - "druids"?
      This is how to understand them ???
      The Kremlin was "diluted" with empty promises a year ago. This is when, under the "honest and noble" word, for the sake of preserving the SP-2, they forced Russia to quietly conclude a humiliating contract with Ukraine for five years. And Gazprom, with the speed of a bullet, paid all the Stockholm Wishlist, worth as much as $ 2,9 billion ... (Read, gave it just like that, under tadys).
      And now, for the same promises, and even for the second round? ...
      Something amiss is going on with "our" effective managers, since even the FT, which has long since come out of trust, is trying to sell the ears of a dead donkey to Russia again! The same ears, the same donkey, once bought for a lot of money ... And now to pay them again? And so what will happen now, every year?
      Awuuu, menegers! What are you there, overeat so that you think with your belly (... or what part of the body do you "work" on), instead of the head then?
      Otherwise, how to explain FT's insolence?
