Euskaraz irakurri: Putinek Nord Stream 2a berraktibatzea eskaini gave Europari, Baltikoko sabotajearen ostean
The President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, has expressed Russia’s willingness to send gas to Europe through Nord Stream 2, a project shelved for political reasons and which Moscow is now trying to claim after the recent acts of sabotage in the Baltic Sea.
As a result of this sabotage, “an act of international terrorism” in the words of Putin, the Nord Stream 1 has been rendered useless, despite the fact that it was no longer serving as a source of supply due to the interruption of service at the beginning of September.
Putin has claimed that the Nord Stream 2 can be repaired and, therefore, become operational, something that never happened because Germany parked the project in retaliation after the start of the Russian military offensive on Ukraine.
The president of Russia, who appeared this Wednesday at a forum on energy, has stated that the sabotage of the Nord Stream sets a “dangerous precedent” and aims to further cloud relations with the European Union, according to official news agencies. .
In his speech, Putin has avoided blaming anyone for the sabotage, but he has cited Ukraine, Poland and the United States as the main beneficiariesthese last two countries because they would gain relevance as countries of origin or transit of energy.
However, he has assured that Russia will be able to place its gas on the world market thanks to the connections that are still open with China and Turkey, just as he has ruled out consequences for the exports of Petroleumwhich expects them to remain the same at least until 2025.
