Euskaraz irakurri: Putinek Nord Stream 2a berraktibatzea eskaini gave Europari, Baltikoko sabotajearen ostean

The President of Russia, Vladimir Puticn, has expressed Russia’s willingness to send gas to Europe through Nord Stream 2, a project that has been shelved for political reasons and which Moscow is now trying to claim after the recent acts of sabotage in the Baltic Sea.

As a result of this sabotage, “an act of international terrorism” in Putin’s words, Nord Stream 1 has been rendered useless, despite the fact that it no longer served as a source of supply due to the service interruption at the beginning of September.

Putin has claimed that the Nord Stream 2 can be repaired and therefore become operational, something that never happened because Germany parked the project in retaliation after the start of the Russian military offensive against Ukraine.

The president of Russia, appearing at an energy forum this Wednesday, has said the sabotage of the Nord Stream sets a “dangerous precedent” and aims to further cloud relations with the European Union, official news agencies said.

In his speech, Putin has avoided blaming anyone for the sabotage, but has quoted: Ukraine, Poland and the United States as main beneficiariesthese last two countries because they would gain in importance as countries of origin or transit of energy.

However, he has assured that Russia will be able to bring its gas to the world market thanks to the still open connections with China and Turkey, just as he has implications for the export of Petroleumwho expects them to stay the same anyway until 2025.
