Germany: Says no to Russian gas through Nord Stream 2 – Only through Nord Stream 1

The German representative pointed out that if Russia wants to resume gas deliveries, it can do so through the Nord Stream 1 pipeline

THE Germany will not get Russian gas through the pipeline Nord Stream 2, a government spokesman said today, after Russian President Vladimir Putin offered to resume the deliveries.

The spokesman added, however, that if Russia wants to resume gas deliveries, it can do so through the Nord Stream 1 pipeline.

Putin said earlier today that Russian gas could still flow to Europe through the remaining intact section of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, but pointed out that the ball is now in the European Union’s court if that is to happen.

Asked if Germany is ruling out receiving gas through Nord Stream 2, the spokesman said: “Yes.”

“No gas has come through the Nord Stream 1 pipeline because Russia has not delivered,” the spokesman added at the standard press conference. If Russia delivers (gas) through Nord Stream 1, there is no embargo at the moment, the spokesman said.
