Construction of Russia’s Nord Stream-2 gas pipeline is expected to be completed by the end of this summer.
This was stated by the head of the company-operator of the pipeline Nord Stream 2 AG Matthias Warnig in an interview with Handelsblatt, reports DW .
“We expect the construction work to be completed by the end of August,” Warnig said.
He added that the construction of the pipeline has already been completed by 98%, and the goal is to put it into operation this year.
The company also added that they are studying the possibilities of the pipeline to transport hydrogen.
“It is quite possible that no later than 10 years later we will be able to add hydrogen to one or both threads and thus transport it,” – said in a statement the head of the company.
Nord Stream 2: What is known
- The Nord Stream 2 project envisages the construction and operation of two branches of a gas pipeline with a total capacity of 55 billion cubic meters of gas per year from the coast of Russia through the Baltic Sea to Germany. The founder of Nord Stream 2 AG is Russia’s Gazprom. The project is funded by European companies – French Engie, Austrian OMV, British-Dutch Shell, German Uniper and Wintershall.
- The Nord Stream-2 gas pipeline is already 95% built. The new pipeline bypassing Ukraine was planned to be completed by the end of 2019, along with the existing Nord Stream-1.
- Construction of the pipeline was suspended due to US sanctions against contractors, but resumed in February 2021. Nord Stream 2 AG decided to complete it on its own.
- Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Oleksiy Danilov stated that Ukrainian diplomats are doing everything possible to stop the launch of Nord Stream-2. According to him, it is difficult to hinder this project, as there are powerful players in Europe who are interested in cooperating with Russia.
- Zelensky is convinced that after the launch of Nord Stream 2, Russia will make every effort not to extend the current contract for gas transit through Ukraine.

Thanks Joe Biden….
Biden Friday also sent requests to both Russia and OPEC to produce more oil and gas so that prices would go back down. But at the same time he has cut off American oil and gas production. Can anyone please explain this to me?
Insanity can be best described by the insane, senility also.
Although in the past 60 years, only two other presidents had lower approval ratings by this time of their terms, I think that most Americans will soon wake up to the fact that voting for this dingle ball was a terrible mistake. He certainly is not a good choice for freedom-loving people in certain countries.
Carrying out the bidding of Marxists like barmy Bernie?
Is Joe getting his usual 10% from Hunter’s latest money laundering/bribery scam? :/

That’s the perfect scam. The Kremlin has said it is a perfect way to launder money because the price of “art” is so subjective and also it should be private. Birds of a feather you know…
Probably the worst part is the US media is NOT even remotely interested. Imagine if Ivanka wanted to sell “art” for a half million dollars, the media would be all over her for weeks and weeks.
All the tough talk over mafia land that this asswipe issued to his voters evaporated like a cloud of a fart in front of the mafia runt. What a pathetic example of a “man”. But, that’s typical of limp-wristed leftist scum.
