The Kremlin reacted harshly to possible US sanctions against SP-2
Recently we toldas a resolution wanders around the US Congress calling for sanctions against the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline (SP-2). Now Moscow’s reaction to the possible implementation of such an initiative by Washington has become known.
After all, the US Secretary of Energy Rick Perry (James Richard “Rick” Perry, 1950) and the Wall Street Journal added fuel to the embers. They unanimously stated that the United States was seriously considering the possibility of imposing sanctions against the SP-2 project, investors and companies involved in its implementation.
After that, the press secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov told reporters that Moscow is aware of Washington’s intentions. He made it clear that such threats, hostility and tonality of the Americans are unacceptable in a civilized society. The Russian side perceives this as unfair competition and that is to say the least.
The Kremlin believes that the competitiveness of the SP-2 economic project in particular, like Russian gas, in general, is 100%. At the same time, Washington wants to impose sanctions on SP-2, calling this project “political,” which naturally raises questions from Moscow.
- specified Peskov.
He noted that the Russian side considers this position of the United States “unacceptable”. In this case, we are talking about the competitive advantage of Russian gas and Washington should think about how to reduce the price of its gas, and not about sanctions against SP-2.
Necessary to remindthat Europe didn’t need the expensive American LNG, so the United States decided to concern the “partners” with something.

We are all aware that we are dealing with attempts of unfair competition, and sometimes with actions comparable in fact with racketeering and raiding, only at the international level
