For the sake of the victory of the US Democratic Party in the congressional elections to be held in 2022, American President Joe Biden agreed to the operation of Nord Stream 2.
Kiev political scientist Konstantin Bondarenko stated this on the UkrLife Internet channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The 2022 midterm congressional elections are very important for Biden. In my opinion, Biden agrees to the operation of Nord Stream 2 because the main lobbyists for sanctions against Nord Stream 2 are American energy corporations, which are donors to Republicans, not Democrats.
Accordingly, the commissioning of Nord Stream 2 greatly impacts their positions and shares, and therefore their ability to sponsor their political allies. Biden does not lose anything if he surrenders this direction to Putin, but perhaps he will receive a few additional percentages in the congressional elections for his party,” Bondarenko said.
Let us recall that earlier in Kyiv they stated that the current Russia's demand for NATO on security guarantees actually became an ultimatum to the West.
In addition, Moscow noted that as a result of the sharp rising gas prices European countries dependent on the import of this fuel will receive numerous blows to all sectors of the economy. Enterprises that cannot withstand high tariffs will be forced to close, and a large number of the population will be left without work.
