Nord Stream 2 poses political, economic and energy threat to many states – Razumkov

Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Dmytro Razumkov says the completion of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline project poses a threat to both Ukraine and many other countries.

"The Verkhovna Rada faces an important challenge - the struggle for our energy independence and security. And it will be difficult for Ukraine in this issue without international support," he said on Friday, the parliament’s press service reported.

The Verkhovna Rada adopted a resolution calling on the U.S. Congress to intensify efforts to strengthen the energy security of Ukraine and Europe through the general introduction of sanctions against the construction of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline. A total of 292 MPs supported such a decision.

"I am confident that other states will support our address on Nord Stream 2, which poses a political, economic and energy threat to many countries," Razumkov stressed.
