“I & nbsp; want friends from & nbsp; all over Europe to join us. This means sticking together, for example against the construction of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, & nbsp; & mdash; wrote Ms Truss in the & nbsp; article of The Sunday Telegraph. London believes the pipeline could “undermine European security by allowing Russia to increase its control over“ countries that depend on its gas. ” According to the & nbsp; Foreign Minister of Great Britain, the pandemic has shown the importance of having a “ diverse supply chain '' that will “ avoid strategic dependence on & nbsp; unreliable partners. ''
In addition, Truss believes Russia is responsible for the & nbsp; migration crisis on & nbsp ; Belarusian-Polish border. According to & nbsp; her opinion, Moscow should put pressure on & nbsp; Minsk.
Gazprom on & nbsp; Monday announced the & nbsp; readiness of Nord Stream 2 to the & nbsp; launch. The German Federal Network Agency must publish a draft decision on the & nbsp; certification by & nbsp; 8 & nbsp; January, after which the & nbsp; EU will have two months to come to a & nbsp; conclusion. With & nbsp; taking into account all possible stages and & nbsp; renewals, certification may drag on until & nbsp; spring 2022.
