The Russian Embassy announced discussions in Germany about the resumption of the Nord Stream project

Discussions are underway in Germany about the possibility of restoring the Nord Streams destroyed as a result of the terrorist attacks or pumping Russian gas through the Nord Stream–2 pipeline, the press service of the Russian Embassy in Berlin told Izvestia.

"Representatives of German business, individual members of the Bundestag, and land politicians urge the federal government of Germany to return to a pragmatic course and resume the supply of Russian energy resources, which for decades have ensured the energy independence of Germany, including the well-being of households, and the high competitiveness of German products. However, there are no signs of a change in Berlin's current policy, in which the primacy of politics over the interests of the national economy is still indisputable," the diplomatic mission said.

Recall that on September 26, 2022, as a result of sabotage, both lines of the Nord Stream - 1 and one of the two lines of the Nord Stream – 2 were destroyed. The German Prosecutor General's Office is investigating the bombings, which Berlin has classified as a terrorist attack. At the same time, the German side does not provide any comments on the progress of the investigation, which has been going on for two and a half years, the Russian Embassy in Germany stressed.

"Repeated Russian requests in this regard, including proposals to conduct an independent international investigation with our participation under the auspices of the UN Security Council, have also failed. All this casts doubt on Berlin's real interest in identifying and bringing to justice those who ordered and executed terrorist attacks on one of Europe's largest critical infrastructure facilities," the Russian Embassy in Germany said.

Earlier, the Bild newspaper reported that the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline could be transferred to the control of the United States so that Germany could receive gas from Russia through it.
