Blinken said that Nord Stream 2 is disastrous for Ukraine

US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said that the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline is a promotion of Russian interests in Europe and a threat to Ukraine, BBC Ukraine reports.

“Biden made it clear [...] that a pipeline is a bad idea. It promotes the interests of Russia, undermines the interests of Europe and contradicts the principles that the EU has established regarding energy security – not to be dependent on one country, in this case, Russia. And, of course, this (the gas pipeline – ed.) is disastrous for Ukraine, Poland and other European states,” Blinken said.

To recap, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said Washington opposed the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline during a meeting with German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas.

Earlier, US President Joe Biden called Nord Stream 2 a "bad deal" for Europe.
