American sanctions can no longer stop the completion of Nord Stream 2
By the end of this year, the Russian gas pipeline Nord Stream 2 will be put into operation.
The head of the analytical department of AMarkets, Artem Deev, said this, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“No matter what sanctions Washington imposes now, I am sure that by the end of this year the gas pipeline will be put into operation. However, in the future, SP-2 is not immune to new problems. According to the requirements of the Third EU Energy Package, which regulates the supply of “blue fuel” to European countries, the use of the gas pipeline at full capacity can be limited by 50%, which will increase the payback period of the pipeline,” the expert told Moskovsky Komsomolets.
Nevertheless, he says, the Europeans are interested in this project.
“In addition to the fact that the European Union has made serious investments in SP-2, Russia’s new export route serves as a guarantee of the energy security of the countries of the Old World. Last winter confirmed Europe's dependence on Russian raw materials, when gas reserves fell to 30% - a record low for many years.
