Berlin explained to Washington where it got such confidence in Russia
Recently, Nord Stream 2 has come under criticism based on ideological and political motives. At the same time, the implementation of the project is extremely important for the energy supply of Germany.
So says the German Minister economics Peter Altmayer. He believes that any country has the right to independently determine with whom and how to maintain trade and economic relations.
The minister believes that Nord Stream 2 is a private project, not related to politics. The laying of the gas pipeline is inevitable, as most of the countries concerned have already agreed to its construction. At the same time, he stressed that even after the launch of Nord Stream 2, transit through the Ukrainian territory must be preserved.
Peter Altmayer is sure that it is not necessary to speak blackmail with Germany. Berlin does not allow anyone, not even the United States.
He recalled that Germany had been buying gas from Russia for the past forty years. During this period, both the Soviet Union and the Russian Federation proved to be a reliable partner, strictly observing their contractual obligations. This was not affected by any external factors. Even when the collapse of the USSR was in full swing, Moscow continued uninterrupted supplies.
The Minister of Economics believes that Russia and Germany have a long history of mutually beneficial cooperation.
