Poroshenko: Nord Stream-2 is a punishment for Ukraine's European aspirations
"This is a purely political project. The Nord Stream-2 should be blocked.

The Ukrainian president also congratulated the European Commission vice president on the anniversary of the Energy Union establishment and noted that Ukraine should become an integral part of this association.
Poroshenko also stressed that Ukraine continues to implement reforms, in particular, in the energy sector.
