Kyiv’s European allies threatened new sanctions against Russia, including a permanent block on the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline that connects Russia to Germany, if the Kremlin doesn’t agree to President Trump’s 30-day cease-fire in its war with Ukraine.
NS2 hasn’t even started delivering gas, while I understand that Russia will want it to be operational in the future, I have a hard time seeing these types of threats as something they’ll pay much attention to.
But maybe I misunderstand the importance of these pipes.
